Description: Only once did 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. The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others.
Review Quotes: "We read Wallace because he forces us to think. He makes us consider what's beneath us and around us--like water."--Alicia J. Rouverol, The Christian Science Monitor
