    ...The Guvnor of Ohio decides that, to revive the pioneer spirit of the citizens of the State, part of Ohio itself has to be demolished and transformed into a good old desert.
    ...Old ladies - who have happened to know Wittgenstein in their youth - disappear from their retirement homes.
    ...Young ladies attend psychotherapy sessions with therapists who chain them to their chairs and move them from one room to the other on tracks.
    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.
