The Pale King: David Wallace

The Pale King is David Foster Wallace`s final novel - a testament to his enduring brilliance.

The Internal Revenue Service Regional Examination Centre in Peoria, Illinois, 1985. Here the minutaie of a million daily lives are totted up, audited and accounted for. Here the workers fight a never-ending war against the urgency of their own boredom. Here then, squeezed between the trivial and the quotidian, lies all human life. And this is David Foster Wallace`s towering, brilliant, hilarious and deeply moving final novel.
