Both Flesh and Not: Essays by David Foster Wallace

4.0

A mixed bag. Some of the essays were really terrific, some were a tad less interesting. The book is disingenuously marketed, though. This is a bunch of essays that DFW was commissioned to write for various publications. The book summary makes it sound like he was just interested in a broad range of topics, but most of these topics are related to books that he was tasked to review. These essays do have some interesting stuff related to fun vocabulary, grammar, literature, and tennis.
