Synopsis "Quack This Way: David Foster Wallace & Bryan A. Garner Talk Language and Writing"

David Foster Wallace was at the center of late-20th-century American literature, Bryan A. Garner at that of legal scholarship and lexicography. It was language that drew them together. The wide-ranging interview reproduced here memorializes 67 minutes of their second and final evening together, in February 2006. It was DFW's last long interview, and the only one devoted exclusively to language and writing.

David Foster Wallace (Ithaca, New York, February 21, 1962 – Claremont, California, September 12, 2008) was an American writer and professor, known for his dense style and satirical analysis of contemporary culture. His work includes novels, short stories, and essays that explore the complexities of modern society.

Among his most notable works are "Infinite Jest" (1996), a postmodern novel considered by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2006; "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" (1999), a collection of stories; and "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" (1997), a compilation of essays. His posthumous novel, "The Pale King" (2011), was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2012.
