Getting Away from Already Being Pretty Much Away from It All

Getting Away from Already Being Pretty Much Away from It All

By David Foster Wallace Humor 01/04/2012

Beloved for his keen eye, sharp wit, and relentless self-mockery, David Foster Wallace has been celebrated by both critics and fans as the voice of a generation. In this hilarious essay, originally published in the collection A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, he chronicles seven days in the Caribbean aboard the m.v. Zenith.
