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.
