Girl with Curious Hair
ISBN: 9780393313963 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Girl with Curious Hair is replete with David Foster Wallace's remarkable and unsettling reimaginations of reality. From the eerily "real," almost holographic evocations of historical figures like Lyndon Johnson and overtelevised 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.

Zapomnění
ISBN: 9788087705865 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. Témata osobní identity a možností porozumění i sebeporozumění se ve Wallaceových textech prolínají s nejsoučasnějšími technikami ovlivňování a vnější prezentace a kladou – nevyslovenou, snad i nevyslovitelnou? – otázku, na co jsme vlastně zapomněli.
David Foster Wallace (1962–2008) patřil k nejoriginálnějším anglicky píšícím autorům přelomu tisíciletí. Proslul především románem Nekonečný... Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. ...

Krátké rozhovory s odpornými muži
ISBN: 9788087705650 / Czeski / Miękka / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. V Krátkých rozhovorech s odpornými muži (1999) podává David Foster Wallace zprávu o lidských bytostech zasažených úzkostí, nejistotou a osamoceností.
Formálně rozmanitý soubor povídek je jakousi verbální anatomií vztahu mezi pohlavími, výpravou do světa myslí a těl „prozacového národa“. Titulní cyklus, který prorůstá celou knihou, má podobu přepisu rozhovorů s 18 muži, jejichž promluvy jsou formovány nepřítomností tázající osoby. Strach mužů z ženských soudů tu ústí v egománii, mizogynii a objektivizaci svého protějšku....
