First Edition of Girl With Curious Hair; Inscribed by David Foster Wallace

First edition of the author's second book and first collection of short stories. Octavo, half cloth. Inscribed and dated by David Foster Wallace on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Debra Morton Hoyt.

"With this collection of stories, David Foster Wallace, the author of the novel The Broom of the System, proves himself a dynamic writer of extraordinary talent, one unafraid to tackle subjects large and small. Wallace is nothing if not audacious. Real-life heroes, villains, historical figures, sports legends, television personalities—even dinosaurs—appear in these stories alongside his fictitious characters, who themselves run the gamut from banal to psychotic When Wallace is at his best he is undoubtedly among the very best" (New York Times).
