Ralph Clare is Associate Professor of English at Boise State University and specializes in post-1945 American literature. This wide-ranging volume is a necessary resource for understanding an author now typically regarded as one of the most influential and important of his time. The essays in this Companion, written by top Wallace scholars, offer historical and cultural contexts for grasping Wallace’s significance, provide rigorous individual readings of each of his major works of fiction and nonfiction, and address the key themes and concerns of these works, including aesthetics, politics, religion and spirituality, race, and posthumanism. As such, few writers in recent memory have matched his work’s intense critical and popular impact. Wallace’s desire to blend formal innovation with the communicative function of literature resulted in works that appeal as much to a reader’s intellect as they do to emotion.
