indigoly 's review for:

The Pale King by David Foster Wallace

4.0

---

so fun. form and content complement each other perfectly. a whacky cast of characters in both silly and incredibly mundane (if not outright boring) situations (as per usual with DFW). no major narrative ever really coalesces, and it’s unclear whether it’s intentional or just unfinished. it could go either way with DFW. i do wish he was able to finish the book, but it was a great read nonetheless.
