O. Scott) and “the best tennis-writer of all time” (New York Times)  Gathered for the first time in a deluxe collector's edition, here are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five tour-de-force pieces written with a competitor's insight and a fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Wallace brings his dazzling literary magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly genius of Roger Federer; offers a wickedly witty disection of Tracy Austin's memoir; considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame; resists the crush of commerce at the U.S. Open; and recalls his own career as a \"near-great\" junior player.Whiting Award-winning writer John Jeremiah Sullivan provides an introduction.","brand":"David Foster Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48694944989475,"sku":"9781598534801","price":16.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9781598534801_p0_v2_s600x595.jpg?v=1718596772","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/string-theory-david-foster-wallace","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
