I thought this was nonfiction essays for some reason but picked it up browsing a library shelf & haven't been able to put it down. Some really terrific writing, the IRS as context & vocabulary is great. Some tedium in that the longest chapter is one of those ultra postmodern neurotic rants that are iconic DFW but just not all that enjoyable to read. His use of footnotes is at its best here though, more under control.
