Un arriesgado triunfo del maestro de la narrativa inteligente David Foster Wallace reinventa una vez mas el arte de la ficcion Los ocho relatos que componen Extincion forman un universo surrealista en el que conviven la realidad mas prosaica con delirantes espirales de la conciencia humana. En "El alma no es una forja" las fantasias que un niño imagina mientras su profesor cae en un delirio homicida le sirven para hablar de la angustiosa soledad de su padre. "Extincion" nos presenta a un matrimonio que visita una clinica del sueño para tratar los ronquidos del marido, en lo que resultara ser un doloroso retrato del desamor. "El canal del sufrimiento" explica los inimaginables prodigios anatomicos que permiten a un escultor crear cotizadas miniaturas, reflejando el absurdo y la profundidad de la creatividad artistica.Reseñas:"Uno de los mayores talentos de su generacion, un escritor virtuoso que aparentemente es capaz de hacerlo todo."The New York Times "Un arriesgado triunfo del maestro de la narrativa inteligente.

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.
