- David Foster Wallace and the Body is the first book-length study (85k words) of Wallace's interest in embodiment and disability. Comprising five unique chapters, representing a sustained cross-disciplinary research effort, the work adopts insights and methodologies from disabilities studies, experimental psychology, gender studies, pornography, and philosophy of mind. The book is a detailed investigation of Wallace's fiction and non-fiction, from multiple disparate but ultimately complementary perspectives on literature and the body. The study is the result of 7 years of reading, analysis, and writing, resulting in a lengthy work of novel scholarship on a major writer of the contemporary period.
