Consider the Lobster

Author: David Foster Wallace
Stars: 5
Review by: Literary Giant


Named one of the top 75 books of the last 75 years by Parade Magazine, this collection of essays begins with a dreadful analysis of the adult entertainment industry, but triumphantly emerges with analyses of lobsters' feelings and the conservative talk radio phenomena.  You will never look at a lobster in quite the same way.  I personally enjoyed the brutal analysis of tennis champion Tracy Austin and why her banal autobiography was a direct consequence of her profound athletic skill.
