Synopsis "Ilustres Raperos (in Spanish)"

En 1989 David Foster Wallace se traslada a Boston para cursar un posgrado en Harvard y se instala en el apartamento de Mark Costello, antiguo compañero de universidad. Juntos descubren su común interes por la naciente música rap. DFW se aventura en un ensayo con el que desmenuzar el ADN cultural del genero. Costello escribe pequeñas replicas que devienen ensayos completos, entrelazados con los de Wallace. El resultado será “Ilustres raperos”, una suerte de tratado que intenta encontrar el sentido del rap a partir de la sociología, la economía, la filosofía, la ley y otras tantas disciplinas.

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.
