Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace by D.T. Max

5.0

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. It goes without saying that I'm a huge DFW fan, and have been anticipating this book for a few months. Usually I don't hold non-fiction to as high a standard as I do fiction, but I have to say that Max has this beautiful, narrative and sympathetic writing style that made this book a joy to read. It had this weird meta-quality that made the book feel like a novel, and as it ended I had the weird sensation of losing a close friend. I'm grateful for all the work Max put into this biography, which stands alone, by any standard, as a Great Book.
