2007 David Foster Wallace 'Consider The Lobster'

A nice copy of this genius collection of ten essays by the late, great novelist David Foster Wallace. 'Consider The Lobster' is also the title of one of the essays, first published in Gourmet magazine in 2004

The style of Wallace's writing across the ten essays is clear and thoughtful whilst the tone is hugely diverse, making this collection a real joy to read for fans of his work. The essays included are:

"Big Red Son"
