Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. By David Foster Wallace. First Edition, First Printing. Little, Brown. Boston, 1999.

American author David Foster Wallace ranks among the best of his generation. He published numerous essays, novels, and short stories that capture the irony, disillusionment, and intellectualism of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He is considered a postmodernist, and in turn, many of his works are quite challenging. But unlike many of his postmodern counterparts, he manages to craft a certain level of sincerity and warmth into his expansive prose. In this volume, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Wallace provides a collection of short stories that demonstrate his best and most quintessential qualities as an author. The stories are metafictional. They often blend literary genres. Their characters are often repugnant, but through them, Wallace critiques modern masculinity with a clinical eye.
