Product Description

''A visionary, a craftsman, a comedian... he''s in a different time-space continuum from the rest of us. Goddam him'' Zadie Smith, Guardian

''David Foster Wallace turns the short story upside down and inside out, making the adjectives ''''inventive'''', ''''unique'''' and ''''original'''' seem blasé'' T. Coraghessan Boyle

''Truly funny surreal humour'' San Francisco Chronicle

Girl With Curious Hair
is replete with the prodigious talent of David Foster Wallace and his remarkable and unsettling re-imaginations of reality. From an eerily ''real'', almost holographic evocation of Lyndon B. Johnson, to over-televised game-show hosts and late-night comedians, to the title story, where terminal punk nihilism meets Young Republicanism, Wallace renders the incredible comprehensible, the bizarre normal, the absurd hilarious, the familiar strange.
