The first biography of the most influential writer of his generation, David Foster Wallace
David Foster Wallace was the leading literary light of his era, a man who not only captivated readers with his prose but also mesmerized them with his brilliant mind. In this, the first biography of the writer, D. T. Max sets out to chart Wallace’s tormented, anguished and often triumphant battle to succeed as a novelist as he fights off depression and addiction to emerge with his masterpiece, Infinite Jest.
Since his untimely death by suicide at the age of forty-six in 2008, Wallace has become more than the quintessential writer for his time—he has become a symbol of sincerity and honesty in an inauthentic age. In the end, as Max shows us, what is most interesting about Wallace is not just what he wrote but how he taught us all to live. Written with the cooperation of Wallace’s family and friends and with access to hundreds of his unpublished letters, manuscripts, and audio tapes, this portrait of an extraordinarily gifted writer is as fresh as news, as intimate as a love note, as painful as a goodbye.
天才都差不多,凡人各有各的平凡。
评分一般。这本传记按照时间顺序讲述了DFW的一生。整体来看有点浅显。最大的问题是在不重要的地方无用细节太多,而在关键的事件和人生转折点上很多时候竟然一笔就带过。我觉得想要真的了解DFW还是去看他的书吧,他可以说是一个“人书合一”的作家,他的思想应该都在他的书里。
