La ragazza dai capelli strani

Meer over het boek

Girl with Curious Hair is a collection of short stories by David Foster Wallace, first published in 1990. Though they are not related, many of the stories share the theme of society's fascination with celebrity, some using real celebrities, including Alex Trebek, David Letterman and Lyndon Johnson, as fictional characters. Several stories also mock or criticise what Wallace saw as negative trends in the literary scene, including the cynical, amoral realism of 1980s "Brat Pack" writers such as Bret Easton Ellis, as well as postmodern literary criticism and metafiction. A novella, "Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way", draws heavily on John Barth's metafictional short story "Lost in the Funhouse".
