Corporeal narrative in David Foster Wallace's fiction[electronic resource] /by Xiaomeng Wan. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - v, 124 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Surrender to the Unreal of the Real Interior: Grotesque and Misused Bodies in The Broom of the System -- A Real American Type of Sadness: Addicted and Painful Bodies in Infinite Jest -- In the Face of Extreme Boredom: Repressed Bodies and Spiritual Crisis in The Pale King -- Conclusion.

This book serves as a critical examination of contemporary American literature by examining David Foster Wallace's incorporation of corporeal narrative techniques in his novels, with a particular focus on The Broom of the System, Infinite Jest, and The Pale King. By employing corporeal narratology as a conceptual framework, it sheds light on Wallace's profound exploration of the human body and its societal implications. Through detailed analysis, the book reveals how Wallace's narratives serve as a critique of contemporary issues such as self-alienation, consumerism, and the dehumanizing effects of modern society. Designed for scholars and students of literature, cultural studies, and narrative theory, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of Wallace's literary legacy and his keen observations on the complexities of human existence in the modern world.
