David Foster Wallace
The Pale King
New York: Little Brown, 2011.
First printing.
The last proper novel from Wallace, partly unfinished at his untimely death in 2008.
He casts himself as the main character, drawn into the inner workings of an IRS Regional Examination Center, where the repetitive work creates its own hideous reality.
Wallace's sardonic attention to tedious detail recreates the essence of bureaucratic life itself, re-defining boredom.
Book and jacket are in perfect condition.
