Title: words, words, WORDS
Product review: David Foster Wallace's essays read like his novels: big, boisterous, smart and exuberant. The title essay is a very long, very detailed, very funny travelogue of a ``pleasure'' cruise. It reads like an extended journal entry by a very bright yet admirably down-to-earth guy.DFW's shotgun approach is not for everyone--he writes about everything he sees and everyone he meets, so at times it sounds like he's rambling. But even when he rambles, it tends to be incisive rambling. I advise patience. It will pay off.
