Hilarisch portret van een cruise. Superleuk – maar voortaan zonder mij is het onvervalste verslag van de week die de Amerikaanse auteur David Foster Wallace doorbracht aan boord van het luxe cruiseschip De Zenit in de Cariben. Met een bewonderenswaardig oog voor detail beschrijft hij wat hij heeft meegemaakt, gehoord, gezien, geroken en geproefd. Dit uiterst geestige bericht uit de microkosmos van een drijvend amusementspark groeit door zijn scherpe observatievermogen uit tot een doorlichting van de Amerikaanse samenleving. Foster Wallace betoont in dit hoogstandje van maritieme reisliteratuur zijn bedrevenheid als manisch portrettist van ons dagelijkse bestaan in een kakofonische tijd. David Foster Wallace geldt als een van de belangrijkste auteurs van zijn generatie, wordt vergeleken met Don DeLillo en Thomas Pynchon, en is vanwege zijn engagement en experimenteerdrift een groot voorbeeld geweest voor auteurs als Jonathan Safran Foer en Dave Eggers.

De werknemers van een belastingkantoor in Peoria, Illinois, komen in eerste instantie redelijk normaal over op David Wallace. Als tijdelijke kracht maakt hij zijn entree op een moment dat de directie hun ook het laatste greintje menselijke waardigheid dat het werk te bieden heeft wil afnemen. Wanneer hij zich met de moed der wanhoop onderdompelt in de geestdodende routine ontdekt hij met welke uitzonderlijke persoonlijkheden hij op kantoor zit. De bleke koning was nog niet voltooid toen David Foster Wallace overleed. Het is een originele, hilarische en onverschrokken roman, die belangrijke vragen aansnijdt door middel van krachtige personages. De bleke koning dwingt in alle opzichten grote bewondering af.

In 1962, the philosopher Richard Taylor used six commonly accepted presuppositions to imply that human beings have no control over the future. David Foster Wallace not only took issue with Taylor's methods, but also noted a semantic trick at the heart of Taylor's argument. Fate, Time, and Language presents Wallace's critique of Taylor's work. Wallace's thesis reveals his great skepticism of abstract thinking made to function as a negation of something more genuine and real. He was especially suspicious of the cerebral aestheticism of modernism and the clever gimmickry of postmodernism, which abandoned "the very old traditional human verities that have to do with spirituality and emotion and community." As Wallace rises to meet the challenge to free will presented by Taylor, we witness the developing perspective of this major novelist and his struggle to establish logical ground for his convictions. This volume, edited by Steven M. Cahn and Maureen Eckert, reproduces Taylor's original article and other works on fatalism cited by Wallace. James Ryerson's introduction connects Wallace's early philosophical work to the themes and explorations of his later fiction, and Jay Garfield supplies a critical biographical epilogue.

Voor de lezers van Marijke Vos, Lisette Jonkman en Nicky Pellegrino. Mare en Alex hebben besloten in Toscane te blijven. Maar een huis kopen in Italië is nog wel een ding... Ze hebben het al megadruk met hun werk, Mares nieuwe concerten en het opvoeden van de ondeugende tweeling. Als Teresa La Terribile dan ook nog onverwachts voor onbepaalde tijd op bezoek komt, weet Mare het allemaal niet meer. Haar dominante en bovenal bloedirritante schoonmoeder neemt het huishouden over en overspoelt Mare met haar ongevraagde meningen. En dan is er ook nog de belachelijk knappe tuinman die Mares hoofd op hol brengt. Terwijl Mare en Alex elkaar in alle drukte dreigen te verliezen, lijkt Louise haar perfecte match te hebben gevonden. Of schuilt er iets duisters achter zijn sexy smile?

From the author of Infinite Jest and Consider the Lobster: a collection of five brilliant essays on tennis, from the author's own experience as a junior player to his celebrated profile of Roger Federer at the peak of his powers. A "long-time rabid fan of tennis," and a regionally ranked tennis player in his youth, David Foster Wallace wrote about the game like no one else. On Tennis presents David Foster Wallace's five essays on the sport, published between 1990 and 2006, and hailed as some of the greatest and most innovative sports writing of our time. This lively and entertaining collection begins with Wallace's own experience as a prodigious tennis player ("Derivative Sport in Tornado Alley"). He also challenges the sports memoir genre ("How Tracy Austen Broke My Heart"), takes us to the US Open ("Democracy and Commerce at the U.S. Open"), and profiles of two of the world's greatest tennis players ("Tennis Player Michael Joyce's Professional Artistry as a Paradigm of Certain Stuff About Choice, Freedom, Limitation, Joy, Grotesquerie, and Human Completeness" and "Federer Both Flesh and Not"). With infectious enthusiasm and enormous heart, Wallace's writing shows us the beauty, complexity, and brilliance of the game he loved best.

In this rare peak into the personal life of the author of numerous bestselling novels, gain an understanding of David Foster Wallace and how he became the man that he was. Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is reprinted for the first time in book form in This is Water. How does one keep from going through their comfortable, prosperous adult life unconsciously? How do we get ourselves out of the foreground of our thoughts and achieve compassion? The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others. After his death, it became a treasured piece of writing reprinted in The Wall Street Journal and the London Times, commented on endlessly in blogs, and emailed from friend to friend. Writing with his one-of-a-kind blend of causal humor, exacting intellect, and practical philosophy, David Foster Wallace probes the challenges of daily living and offers advice that renews us with every reading.
