Rent Oblivion: Stories

Synopsis

In his third collection of stories, David Foster Wallace ranges in subject matter from an adman trying to drum up enthusiasm for a product called Mr. Squishy, to a father whose son has survived a harrowing school attack, to a sculptor who uses his own feces as a medium. As always, Wallace walks a line between the absurd and the profound, and a satiric outlook pervades many of these virtuoso pieces. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.
