Professional Reviews

Voice Literary Supplement: "Wallace has always been a carefree, funny writer, but his cleverness can be a curse. In BRIEF INTERVIEWS, words wound and the humor, scaled back, bares its teeth....There is such hatred in this book that midway through it seems that Wallace's confidence as a writer masks a collapse in the man, that he's given in to his own fears, folding fiction's layers into a blanket and hiding underneath. But Wallace breaks through this mounting rage to reach a more generous emotional world....Wallace has started to fight toward transcendence....[T]his book is finally a call to action, in life and fiction both....This is a tormented, heroic book." |

| More Information |
| Details: |
This book alternates interviews--in which only the interviewee's voice is heard--with formally innovative short stories and pseudo-essays. Dwelling on sex, obsession, and adolescence, Wallace charts paths through an etymological dictionary and the mind of a boy on a high-dive with equal enthusiasm. This book was named a New York Times Notable Book in 1999. |
