String Theory David Foster Wallace on Tennis. A Library of America Special Publication

This book has nothing to do with physics, but its title will make you look super smart if you re reading it on a train or plane. Bill Gates

David Foster Wallace s Federer essay turned me into an avid tennis fan.
  Lin-Manuel Miranda, The New York Times Book Review

A wonderful and inspiring collection for fans of either tennis or eye-popping prose.
  Austin American-Statesman

String Theory stands as a monument to Wallace s talent and his dedication to the game.
Doug Perry, The Oregonian/The Spin of the Ball
                                                                                    
This collection is a tennis classic that deserves shelf space next to John McPhee s Levels of the Game and Brad Gilbert s Winning Ugly.   Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News

David Foster Wallace s essays on tennis are a treasure, some of the best writing ever on the sport, and they are all here in the Library of America s this deluxe hardcover collector s edition.

Ruminative, digressive, lyrical, funny, sad, sometimes borderline lunatic, these posthumously collected journalistic pieces have all the hallmarks of Wallace s novels.   The Washington Post

A remarkable volume. . . . The tennis-obsessive will find Wallace s considerations almost bewilderingly insightful.   The Telegraph (UK)

  Wallace s grasp of tennis was truly prodigious. . . . He has often been described as the best tennis writer of all time, and these essays don t disabuse that notion.   The Guardian (UK)
 
What makes this collection so valuable for serious tennis fans is the chance to see the most beautiful sport there is through Wallace s eyes.   Toure, Town & Country
