Title: A Different Perspective
Product review: This was the second of David Foster Wallace's books that I've read, after Infinite Jest. This is certainly a more accessible tome in comparison, but maintain's Wallace's unique perspective. Much like the man himself, this book is often very funny, and sometimes very sad, but always comes from a perspective of seeking out the humanity in characters where it's not always obvious.This is obviously a much different book than Infinite Jest, which was a sprawling novel of vast ambition. The short stories, or 'brief interviews,' will sometimes make you laugh out loud, sometimes blow you away, and sometimes leave you scratching your head and shrugging. And in that respect, the two books are very much the same.
