There Will Be Books

Episode 124 "David Foster Wallace and April Nominations"


Listen Later

Months ago Peter lost a bet to Matt and consequently Peter had to read a selection of essays from David Foster Wallace. On this episode, we discuss two of those essays, "Consider the Lobster," and "Host." We discuss the essays themselves but also Wallace's famous style. Side note, let us know your feelings on David Foster Wallace. He certainly lends himself to healthy debate. And finally, we select our latest books to add to our TBR. A varied selection was nominated and we struggled to pick just one.....so we picked two. Enjoy!
