This celebrated collection of essays from the author of Infinite Jest is "brilliantly entertaining...Consider the Lobster proves once more why Wallace should be regarded as this generation's best comic writer" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).Do lobsters feel pain? Did Franz Kafka have a funny bone? What is John Updike's deal, anyway? And what happens when adult video starlets meet their fans in person?
David Foster Wallace answers these questions and more in essays that are also enthralling narrative adventures. Whether covering the three-ring circus of John McCain's 2000 presidential race, plunging into the wars between dictionary writers, or confronting the World's Largest Lobster Cooker at the annual Maine Lobster Festival, Wallace projects a quality of thought that is uniquely his and a voice as powerful and distinct as any in American letters.
"Wallace can do sad, funny, silly, heartbreaking, and absurd with equal ease; he can even do them all at once." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Works as expected for it's intended purpose.
Color: Black, Size: Upgraded Base-1 Panel
This room divider was easy to put together and is sturdy enough so it wont tip over if it's bumped.
Included instructions weren't very clear and some parts weren't labeled, but once you figure out how to put it together
it works as expected. The material is a bit wrinkled so if that is a concern you can iron it prior to installation. The size is fine for a smaller room and the thickness of the material is fine for it's intended use.

It’s ok.
Color: Beige, Size: Upgraded Base-4 Panel
It works, but not a great product. The cloth is super thin, so do not expect to use it to block noise. Wants to bent and tilt with little effort to make it so. Will not stand straight. It is a good color though.

Too Short & Skewed Foot. Easy Build & Good Material.
Color: Black, Size: Upgraded Base-1 Panel, Color: Black, Size: Upgraded Base-1 Panel
The 3 partitions I purchased were of good material but were shorter than described and the "feet" on one end of all 3 partitions was skewed a few degrees so I cannot butt them together side by side. PHOTO #1: you see me who is 63.5 inches in my shoes standing next to the 72 inch described partition minus the wheels so it is fair to say it should be 70 inches. But even so, 70 inches minus 63.5 equals 6.5 inches that should be above my head and should not include the tip of the pole and a 6 inch gap below. PHOTO #2: shows the gap when a 90 degree good end is butted against the skewed end. Good material and easy construction but just make it taller and fix the jig that skews the bottom bracket weld.
