Author: David Foster Wallace
Hard cover with dust jacket. Very good condition. First edition.
"The Pale King" by David Foster Wallace is an unfinished novel that delves into the lives of IRS agents at a regional examination center in Peoria, Illinois, capturing the monotony and existential struggles of their daily work. Set in the mid-1980s, the book explores themes of boredom, attention, and the search for meaning in a bureaucratic and often dehumanizing environment. Through a series of interconnected narratives and a diverse cast of characters, Wallace examines the complexities of modern life and the human condition, showcasing his trademark wit, depth, and insight. Though incomplete due to Wallace's untimely death, "The Pale King" stands as a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the ordinary and the extraordinary within the mundane.
