Su llegada coincide, además, con el recrudecimiento de fuerzas conspiratorias que pugnan por despojar el trabajo del rastro de humanidad y dignidad que todavía queda. David Foster Wallace fue uno de los escritores más importantes de su generación. El rey pálido es su novela póstuma. \"Resulta que el éxtasis un placer sentido segundo a segundo y acompañado de gratitud por el don de estar vivo y de ser consciente- se encuentra al otro lado del aburrimiento absolutamente letal. Presta atención a la cosa más tediosa que puedas encontrar (las declaraciones de la renta, el golf retransmitido por televisión) y un aburrimiento como no hayas visto nunca se te echará encima enoleadas y a punto estará de matarte. Si consigues capear esas olas, será como si pasaras del blanco y negro al color. Como encontrar agua después de pasar varios días en el desierto. Un éxtasis constante en todos y cada uno de tus átomos.\" David Foster Wallace" . . . . . "Der bleiche König : Roman" . . "Der bleiche König Roman" . . . . . . . . . .

The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace's death, but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with ultimate questions--questions of life's meaning and of the value of work and society--through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity that were Wallace's unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of our time."@en . . . . . . . "Pale king"@en . "Downloadable e-book"@en . . .
