Consider the Lobster and Other Essays
(Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a funny bone?...)
Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a funny bone? What is John Updike's deal, anyway? And what happens when adult video starlets meet their fans in person? David Foster Wallace answers these questions and more in essays that are also enthralling narrative adventures. Whether covering the three-ring circus of a vicious presidential race, plunging into the wars between dictionary writers, or confronting the World's Largest Lobster Cooker at the annual Maine Lobster Festival, Wallace projects a quality of thought that is uniquely his and a voice as powerful and distinct as any in American letters.

LeTourneau, “Mover of Men and Mountains.” This autobiography was first published in 1960. It is currently published by Moody Publishers.
