Synopsis
Some may question the prudence of taking life advice from a man who committed suicide, but this posthumous release from David Foster Wallace shows conclusively that his ideas about compassion and purpose offer profound lessons for the rest of us. In 2005, at Kenyon College in Ohio, the novelist provided a commencement address that wandered through a number of topics related to living an enriched life. Laced with his typical searing insight and astounding intellectual observations, that speech was widely circulated after his death in 2008, leading to this print publication. It is unfortunate that Wallace succumbed to his internal mental conflicts, but the wisdom contained in the masterly words and works he left behind will live on.
