Pretty hit or miss. Really liked some of the stories and didn’t care for others. This was my introduction to David Foster Wallace’s writing, and if nothing else his prose is certainly interesting. Still deciding whether or not I actually like it, but I did quite enjoy the dry, ironic humor peppered throughout stories that tend to deal with pretty heavy topics. I’m certainly intrigued by how his writing works in novel format.
