About this book
David Foster Wallace considers the habits of attention that shape ordinary adult life. Based on his commencement address at Kenyon College, this short work of practical philosophy discusses self-absorption, awareness and compassion. Its concern is how people interpret routine experience and recognise lives beyond the immediate foreground of their own thoughts.
