THIS IS WATER - DAVID FOSTER WALLACE GEBUNDEN

Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life  during a
commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is reprinted for the first
time in book form in This is Water. How does one keep from going through their comfortable 
prosperous adult life unconsciously? How do we get ourselves out of the foreground of our
thoughts and achieve compassion? The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as
his grace in attention to others. After his death  it became a treasured piece of writing
reprinted in The Wall Street Journal and the London Times  commented on endlessly in blogs  and
emailed from friend to friend. Writing with his one-of-a-kind blend of causal humor  exacting
intellect  and practical philosophy  David Foster Wallace probes the challenges of daily living
and offers advice that renews us with every reading.
