Recenzii
"This is a book that celebrates and educates us in the art of good reading of good texts. It is a joy to read and its scholarship is superlative." David Jasper, Professor of Literature and Theology, University of Glasgow.
"InThe Fact of the Cage, Karl A. Plank interprets Wallace as he wanted to be interpreted: with critical passion and with a very keen eye for ethical concerns. This eloquent book offers sharp close-readings, new philosophical contexts, and well-grounded answers to whether and how time spent with Infinite Jest can help make us better people." Jeffrey Severs, Associate Professor, University of British Columbia, and author ofDavid Foster Wallace’s Balancing Books: Fictions of Value.
"Can reading well help make you a better person? Numerous writers and critics have intimated that it can — perhaps none with more passion and more sorrow than David Foster Wallace. In The Fact of the Cage, Karl Plank explores with both curiosity and care the possibilities that wrestling with Wallace’s own writing might open up. The result is a powerful volume that is attentive both to the literary condition and to the human condition, both to the opportunities for ethical reflection that the novel may be uniquely able to facilitate as well as to the difficult work asked of the reader who seeks in reading a form of redemption." Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English, Michigan State University

Descriere
Plank’s study makes the case that reading fiction matters, that reading David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest is a stubborn act of ethical and religious significance, that the trek through its many pages may, in the end, redeem its reader from the lethal loneliness that is "the fact of the cage."
