«La niña del pelo raro» is a collection of ten short stories by David Foster Wallace, published by Debolsillo in paperback (480 pages, in Spanish).
The stories in the volume move through contemporary culture: television game shows, late-night hosts, historical figures such as Lyndon Johnson, and nihilistic punk settings. Wallace combines irony and social criticism with unsettling elements, so that the ghostly becomes familiar and the absurd, hilarious.
This book belongs to the Contemporánea collection from Debolsillo. The translation is by Javier Calvo and the original text is in English.
For adult readers interested in short fiction and contemporary North American literature.
David Foster Wallace was an American writer and professor who published novels, short stories, and essays. He is widely known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which Time magazine named one of the 100 best English-language novels published from 1923 to 2005. In 2008, David Ulin wrote for the Los Angeles Times that Wallace was "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last twenty years".
