Title: Clever but Reader-Friendly?
Product review: As a writer, I found the craft utilized by David Foster Wallace intriguing. He really breaks out of what a standard "story" can be and is quite successful in a few of the pieces. I, however, did not enjoy much of what I read.There is something to be said for being clever and being inventive but to put so many stories together in one collection limits the ability to take them all in and truly enjoy them. I think if this book had been cut in half I would have given it a better review, but the sheer number of non traditional stories was too overwhelming. In other words, I wanted more story and less creation.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
