4.9/5 (14387 ratings)

Description:Depression and Dysphoria in the Works of David Foster Wallace is the first full-length critical study of the prominent and persistent themes of mental anguish - including clinical depression and analogous conditions such as loneliness and boredom - in the fiction of David Foster Wallace, an author indelibly associated with depression since his tragic death in 2008. This study provides accessible, yet critically probing readings of all six of David Foster Wallace's major works of fiction, The Broom of the System, Girl with the Curious Hair, Infinite Jest, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Oblivion, and The Pale King, examining how his conceptualization of depression and other dysphoric conditions evolves across the three decades of his career. These readings clearly demonstrate the connections and divergences between Wallace's works, and explore their relation to wider debates surrounding affect, medical humanities, and the 'new sincerity' in US fiction. By presenting his fiction alongside theorists, philosophers, and contemporary authors whose works also explore these themes, this monograph provides a thorough account of Wallace's literary project and career-long concern with depression.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
