Inscribed First Edition
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments
Notes: A collection of shorter works by the author of Infinite Jest, including what is probably DFW's best essay, the title piece, a long travel article written after Harper's Magazine sent Wallace on a cruise out of Florida. The 137 footnotes (including at least one that itself has a footnote) are nearly as long as the essay itself.
353 pages.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing, with a numberline ending in 1). A very good copy in a fine dust jacket. A bit of browning on the top edge of the boards. Inscribed by Wallace on the title page, "For Christina w/ best wishes David Foster Wallace", with an elongated smiley face.
Publication: Boston: Little, Brown & Company, 1997.
