In 'This is Water', David Foster Wallace invites us to reflect on daily life and the importance of compassion. Based on a speech the author delivered at Kenyon College in 2005, this book offers a series of ideas on how to live more consciously and meaningfully. Wallace encourages us to question our perspectives and choose how to construct our sense of experience, reminding us of the importance of empathy and attention in an often self-centered world. A concise and insightful legacy from one of the great contemporary thinkers.
David Foster Wallace was an American writer and professor who published novels, short stories, and essays.
