Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, STARRING JASON SEGAL AND JESSE EISENBERG, DIRECTED BY JAMES PONSOLDTAn indelible portrait of David Foster Wallace, by turns funny and inspiring, based on a five-day trip with award- winning writer David Lipsky during Wallace’ s Infinite Jest tour In David Lipsky’ s view, David Foster Wallace was the best young writer in America.

Wallace’ s pieces for Harper’ s magazine in the 90s were, according to Lipsky, “like hearing for the first time the brain voice of everybody I knew: Here was how we all talked, experienced, thought.

It was like smelling the damp in the air, seeing the first flash from a storm a mile away.

You knew something gigantic was coming.”
