cameronius 's review for:
The Pale King
by David Foster Wallace
A powerful and profoundly sad novel from the late DFW. Although this novel is clearly unfinished and lacking the master's final touch, there is a quiet frankness and subtlety to his prose that is absent in his other works. And while none of the writing here strikes the somber chords of Oblivion, it's difficult not to be moved by the tragic irony of this novel's central theme: existential boredom and how to survive it.
