So beautifully and artfully written. There is such an abundance of rigour in the research and the details and all exquisitely (appearing effortlessly) woven into an elegant and perfect prose. So happy this the case. Ulysses, Joyce's Ulysses and now this. The perfect cascading triumvirate. Yes.

A feast of profound reflections on existence, knowledge, fate, obsession, and intellectual curiosity. A bountiful beast of a book.

Rich, ornate, philosophical and mythological prose. And wit and verve. The flotsam and the jetsam.

Oh yes.

🤯

Dense breadth of knowledge, insight and worldy-wisdom compressed into such satisfying brief chapters.

Poignant and moving.

Immediately captivating.

Beautifully written.

So good, an immersive and comprehensive glimpse into his mind, experiences and personal reflections.

I searched for a comparable book The Anatomy of Melancholy and this was recommended. It's a magnificent word feast.

A Pyncohnesque escapade with all the Shakespearian and baroque sentences describing set pieces in the style of Looney Toons and Bob Dylan. Much underrated by many folks, me'thinks.

Compelling shifts in perspective and mental modes of characters.

Extremely rare David Foster Wallace The Pale King, Uncorrected Galley Proof. If any collectors are interested.
