The Awakening of My Interest in Advanced Tax by David Foster Wallace
4.0
Don't get me wrong: this is five stars as part of its original home in The Pale King. It's a great little novella, but plucked as it is from its context, there are a few bits that lose some of their resonance.
It's still a great piece. Provocative. Worth a look if you were curious about The Pale King but felt like it was a little too much of a tendon-strainer.
Bonus: it's a pleasing little object, nice paper, good texture to the cover. Better yet: all proceeds are donated by Madras Press to Granada House, a halfway house in Boston that helped a young David Foster Wallace through some tough times.
