In the tales that define Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most nude mankind with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness - a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by another head. Only David Foster Wallace could communicate a father's needy loneliness via his son's daydreaming through the teacher's homicidal break down ("The Heart and soul ISN'T a Smithy"). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of imagination by delineating any office politics adjoining a magazine account of an musician who produces small sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way ("The Hurting Route"). Or capture the ache of love's break down in the painfully polite apologies of a guy who is convinced his wife is hallucinating the audio of his snoring ("Oblivion"). Each one of these stories is a complete world, as completely imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.
