Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
by David Foster Wallace
David Foster Wallace turns a Maine food festival, a porn-industry awards show, and a war over dictionaries into dazzling, branching essays about how to think, how to live, and how to actually pay attention. The premise is always a doorway, never the destination.
