Interesting. What can one say about David Foster Wallace that hasn't already been said? Truly, he was brilliant, funny and original. I enjoyed this novel immensely, but it was a work-out.

footnotes. The iBook version does not include the footnotes. As with Infinite Jest the footnotes are key to hearing the author's personal voice.

FEP. I am having a problem with the footnotes too. The footnote numbers are all there in the text and the first few work o.k. But after that, when I tap any footnote, it always directs me back to footnote #1 again. So I don't know if the other footnotes are missing or I just can't access them. It's pretty annoying since footnotes are very important with DFW. The book itself is full of wonderfully moving human stories. So I still love the writer and love the book but as a reading experience it is a disappointment.

Does include footnotes. Just started this. But I wanted to note that the book I downloaded does indeed contain the footnotes. Because of the prior review, I spent a good deal of time searching for reviews of the footnote experience on kindle and iBooks. Even if there was a problem with the ePub file that caused the prior reviewer not to see the footnotes, it has been corrected.

Absolutely astounding.. Brilliant in every way. Imagine if he’d finished it… argh.

Finding Meaning in the Mundane. David Foster Wallace was a literary genius, gifted with the ability to delve deep into the complex inner lives of his characters. But his brilliance goes beyond mere storytelling. With surgical precision, Wallace constructs a captivating map of the human experience, revealing that our true connection to the world lies not in grandiose moments, but in the countless, seemingly unimportant tasks that fill our days. In "The Pale King," he challenges our perception of heroism by shining a spotlight on none other than IRS agents. Yes, you read that right. According to Wallace, these unsung heroes navigate the mundane realities of modern life with relentless efficiency, performing the overlooked tasks that keep our world in order. Cleaning, feeding, nursing, accounting – these seemingly trivial activities are the very fabric of our existence. They may go unnoticed and unappreciated by some, even resented by others, but in Wallace's world, the mundane is the true hero. Life is found in the everyday, my friends. Embrace it!
