At 24 only, David Foster Wallace anticipates all the characteristic of his innovative style of writing. Politicians are crazy; human relationships are messed up and young men and women cannot understand if everybody is for real or if everything is a dream.
Language is the only possible den to hide in.
As in the "Infinite Jest", Wallace's wonderful masterpiece, only a mathematical system (with its own magic traps) can grant a meaning to a system which seems to have gone crazy.
A must-read book for those who have found "Infinite Jest" a genuine entertainment. "The Broom of the System" is the lobby to access that show.
