## Description

An instant classic of American sportswriting—the tennis essays of David Foster Wallace, “the best mind of his generation” (A. O. Scott) and “the best tennis-writer of all time” (New York Times) Gathered for the first time in a deluxe collector's edition, here are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five tour-de-force pieces written with a competitor's insight and a fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Wallace brings his dazzling literary magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly genius of Roger Federer; offers a wickedly witty disection of Tracy Austin's memoir; considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame; resists the crush of commerce at the U.S. Open; and recalls his own career as a "near-great" junior player.Whiting Award-winning writer John Jeremiah Sullivan provides an introduction.

Review: Words strung with as much beauty as a Federer rally. - Brilliant writing. Just the arrangement of words makes it a sheer joy. If you are a Federer fan, the piece on him is a must read. If you are a fan of beautiful writing, perhaps as rare ad Federer's tennis. This is the book.
Review: There are only few people like DFW - This book is for those who look for deeper insights about the game and its origins and beauty. DFW explains in the most personal fashion - it really resonates with us.
