★著者简介 【美】大卫•福斯特·华莱士 （David Foster Wallace，1962—2008），我们这个时代著名的美国作家之一，与《自由》作者乔纳森·弗兰岑并称为“美国文坛双壁”。 大学的毕业论文是他的第一部小说《系统的笤帚》，名作《无尽的玩笑》被著名编辑迈克尔·皮奇惊叹 为“我想出版这本书胜过想呼吸”，并被《时代》周刊评选为1923年以来世界百部最佳英语小说之一。其未完成作品《苍白的国王》入围普利策奖最终名单。本人曾获得麦克阿瑟天才奖。 即使在天才遍地的欧美文坛，华莱士也是个极为特殊的存在。他对哲学的痴迷，对繁复长句子的无尽追求，让他的作品从一诞生就划上了“神作”的符号，爱他的读者对他的作品如痴如醉，即使不了解他的读者，也不得不承认他是个不可复制的天才作家。 ★译者简介 胡凯衡，博士，中国科学院成都山地灾害与环境研究所研究院研究员。
