David Foster Wallace

Αυτοκτόνησε στα 46 του, τον βρήκε η γυναίκα του κρεμασμένο στο διαμέρισμά του, ο Ντέιβιντ Φόστερ Ουάλας. Με περίφημο έργο, που έχαιρε μεγάλης λογοτεχνικής αναγνώρισης.
Στα ελληνικά, πριν αρκετά χρόνια, κυκλοφόρησε από τις εκδόσεις AQUARIOUS ένα δικό του βιβλίο-εκδόσεις που μας έδωσαν ό,τι πιο προοδευτικό κυκλοφορούσε και δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχει πια.

Παραθέτω δεσμούς που αναφέρονται στο έργο του και στη ζωή του.
