In this exuberantly praised book - a collection of seven pieces on subjects ranging from television to tennis, from the Illinois State Fair to the films of David Lynch, from postmodern literary theory to the supposed fun of traveling aboard a Caribbean luxury cruiseliner - David Foster Wallace brings to nonfiction the same curiosity, hilarity, and exhilarating verbal facility that has delighted readers of his fiction, including the bestselling Infinite Jest .
作者：大卫·福斯特·华莱士（David Foster Wallace）
美国作家。1962年出生于美国纽约一个知识分子家庭。大学的毕业论文是他的第一部小说《系统的笤帚》（The Broom of the System，1987），书名受哲学家维特根斯坦《逻辑哲学论》的启发，其内容、结构布局和碎片式叙事都与维特根斯坦的语言游戏理论形成呼应。
1996年，《无尽的玩笑》（Infinite Jest）这部被著名编辑迈克尔·皮奇惊叹为“我想出版这《A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again》胜过想呼吸”的著作出版。尽管厚达1000多页，晦涩难懂，充满了脚注、缩写词以及杂糅的后现代语言，仍取得了巨大的成功。

Cal2021-06-21I fully grant that mysterious invisible room-cleaning is in a way great, every true slob’s fantasy, somebody materializing and deslobbing your room and then dematerializing—like having a mom without the guilt. But there is also, I think, a creeping guilt here, a deep accretive uneasiness, a discomfort that presents—at least in my own case—as a weird kind of pampering-paranoia.

Cal2021-06-18At any rate, for this particular 7NC consumer, Conroy’s ad-as-essay ends up having a truthfulness about it that I’m quite sure is unintentional. As my week on the Nadir wore on, I began to see this essaymercial as a perfect ironic reflection of the mass-market-Cruise experience itself. The essay is polished, powerful, impressive, clearly the best that money can buy. It presents itself as for my benefit. It manages my experiences and my interpretation of those experiences and takes care of them in advance for me. It seems to care about me. But it doesn’t, not really, because first and foremost it wants something from me. So does the Cruise itself. The pretty setting and glittering ship and dashing staff and sedulous servants and solicitous fun-managers all want something from me, and it’s n...

Cal2021-06-18. A vacation is a respite from unpleasantness, and since consciousness of death and decay are unpleasant, it may seem weird that Americans’ ultimate fantasy vacation involves being plunked down in an enormous primordial engine of death and decay.
