The Best American Essays 2007 edited by David Foster Wallace.
By Rachel King
I chose to read this because of the editor. “These pieces are models? of ways I wish I could think and live in what seems to be this world,” DFW writes in the introduction. I read about five essays in here, all great, and then became sad over DFW’s suicide and read most of Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, transcripts of David Lipsky’s interviews with DFW back in 1996 (published in 2010). My advice: put your Best Americans on the back burner and read some DFW. Start with Consider the Lobster.
