David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and university professor of English and creative writing. Wallace's 1996 novel ''Infinite Jest'' was cited by ''Time'' magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. His posthumous novel, ''The Pale King'' (2011), was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2012. David Ulin of the ''Los Angeles Times'' called Wallace "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last twenty years".

Wallace grew up in Illinois and attended Amherst College and the University of Arizona in Tucson, where he earned his MFA. He taught English at Emerson College, Illinois State University, and Pomona College. After struggling with depression for many years, he died by suicide in 2008, at age 46. Provided by Wikipedia
