The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace's death,
but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and
as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with
ultimate questions--questions of life's meaning and of the value of work and
society--through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity
that were Wallace's unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of
heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of
our time.
