…an anthology meant to serve different purposes for different readers. For the casual ones, if Mr. Wallace has any, it's a solid but compact Greatest Hits collection: David Foster Wallace Lite…As a reintroduction, or even introduction, to Mr. Wallace…it's a reminder of what a transgressive, digressive delight he could be. For teachers, it's a textbook geared to orthodoxy-free students who can pierce the carapace of Mr. Wallace's reputation and read his work with fresh eyes. And even for those who race through it, it's a jolt of sheer geniusand a horror. There are immense, intricate, leisurely pleasures to be had here, and they should not be glimpsed like the landscape from a speeding train.
