David Foster Wallace: Oblivion: Stories

Oblivion: Stories


Description

In the stories that make up "Oblivion," David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness--a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown ("The Soul Is Not a Smithy"). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way ("The Suffering Channel"). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring ("Oblivion"). Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.

Surveys of stress-related illness suggest that more than 250,000 people in the UK are experiencing stress at a level that is making them ill. Stress can indeed lead to extensive psychological and physical suffering but one thing is clear: we do have choices. "Stress will always be with us, and we will continue to suffer - unless we choose to change," says Dr Cantopher. "The good Oblivion: Stories free epub news is that this is possible - stress-related illness is avoidable, and if you change, you will attain happiness." Topics covered include: causes of stress; manifestations of stress - physical illness; psychological conditions, such as anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, phobic states and depression; acute treatments; longer term management; how to avoid stress and its ill effects; and, lifestyle issues. We have a choice! This book offers not just facts, but a message of hope.
