Wallace and I (eBook, PDF)

Cognition, Consciousness, and Dualism in David Foster Wallace's Fiction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on Wallace's reading in the science and philosophy of mind, this book gives a rigorous account of Wallace's humanistic response to postmodernism, and shines a much needed light on the fundamental relationship in Wallace's work between his characters' bodies and the ghosts that haunt them.
