To my knowledge, there is no more sincere a voice than Wallace's in contemporary literature. He manages to combine his keen powers of observation with a disarmingly magnanimous wit. Like his other collections of essays ("Consider the Lobster" is every bit as great), this title is challenging but incredibly rewarding.
