Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $a"This book examines the writing of David Foster Wallace, hailed as the voice of a generation on his death. Critics have identified horror of solipsism, obsession with sincerity and a corresponding ambivalence regarding postmodern irony, and detailed attention to contemporary culture as the central elements of Wallace's writing. Clare Hayes-Brady draws on the evolving discourses of Wallace studies, focusing on the unifying anti-teleology of his writing, arguing that that position is a fundamentally political response to the condition of neo-liberal America. She argues that Wallace's work is most unified by its resistance to closure, which pervades the structural, narrative and stylistic elements of his writing. Taking a broadly thematic approach to the numerous types of 'failure', or lack of completion, visible throughout his work, the book offers a framework within which to read Wallace's work as a coherent whole, rather than split along the lines of fiction versus non-fiction, or pre- and post-Infinite Jest, two critical positions that have become dominant over the last five years. While demonstrating the centrality of 'failure', the book also explores Wallace's approach to sincere communication as a recurring response to what he saw as the inane, self-absorbed commodification of language and society, along with less explored themes such as gender, naming and heroism. Situating Wallace as both a product of his time and an artist sui generis, Hayes-Brady details his abiding interest in philosophy, language and the struggle for an authentic self in late-twentieth-century America."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $2Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers 676 $a813/.54 686 $aLIT000000$aLIT004020$2bisacsh 700 $aHayes-Brady$b Clare$01472768 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798087603321 996 $aThe unspeakable failures of David Foster Wallace$93685674 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03434nam 2200745Ia 450 001 9910974258603321 005 20251116174948.0 010 $a1-134-84528-6 010 $a0-203-29901-9 010 $a0-203-04283-2 010 $a1-280-32979-3 010 $a1-134-84529-4 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203042830 035 $a(CKB)1000000000247875 035 $a(EBL)169580 035 $a(OCoLC)226376456 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000105315 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11127951 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000105315 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10100392 035 $a(PQKB)10519400 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000276976 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12094268 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000276976 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10226745 035 $a(PQKB)11390735 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC169580 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL169580 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10057279 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL32979 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000247875 100 $a19950809d1996 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aArchitecture and authority in Japan /$fWilliam H.
