David Foster Wallace (1962–2008) was born in Ithaca, New York, in 1962 and raised in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where in his teens he was a regionally ranked junior tennis player. His works include Infinite Jest, Girl with Curious Hair, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Oblivion, A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, and Consider the Lobster. His final novel, The Pale King, was posthumously published in 2011.
An instant classic of American sportswriting—the tennis essays of David Foster Wallace, “the best mind of his generation” (A. O. Scott) and “the best tennis-writer of all time” (New York Times)
Gathered for the first time in a deluxe collector's edition, here are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five tour-de-force pieces written with a competitor's insight and a fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Wallace brings his dazzling literary magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly genius of Roger Federer; offers a wickedly witty disection of Tracy Austin's memoir; considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame; resists the crush of commerce at the U.S. Open; and recalls his own career as a "near-great" junior player.
Whiting Award-winning writer John Jeremiah Sullivan provides an introduction.

评分彼特拉克为了表达焦虑消耗了人类诸多经验,在《命运的拯救》里写道:“引起这一切的缘由,只能是我们自身的轻浮和做作:我们一无所长,而只会像一只网球那样被抛来抛去,成为生命短暂、顾虑无穷的物种,对我们搭乘的船将在那一块海岸搁浅一无所知。” 这种“生如蜉蝣”的言论并...
评分有没有人和我一样来豆瓣看弦论书评,乱入到网球中▼_▼。

评分很多篇幅组成,每次读完一篇就忘,不过我觉得应该是读完了。
评分非常好看,是那种在体育新闻/传记里找不到的东西——Wallace对网球全情投入(他青少年时参加过地区别赛,所以对职业球员到底达到了什么水平心知肚明且满怀敬意)但又能跳脱出球迷熟稔的潜规则和惯性思维去看待这项运动,是作为一个真正有感情有思考能力且不惧于表达自己想法的人在写作。此外,语言传神至极,无论是白描还是抒发情感,都能把握得妙到颠毫。与精准相对应的,他相当刻薄,尤其写注释的时候,不过我喜欢。
评分散文可以写的这么牛逼!网球迷跪着看完了这本书!
