The Broom of the System: A Novel

by David Foster Wallace
Publisher
Penguin Books
Year
Binding
Paperback
Pages

Wallace's first novel announces itself as the work of someone who reads dictionaries for pleasure. The plot involves a missing grandmother and questions about reality, but the real joy is in the language—playful, intellectual, genuinely funny. It reads like someone testing every tool in the writer's kit. For readers who enjoy watching a brilliant mind discover what fiction can do.
