In 'The Broom of the System', David Foster Wallace introduces us to Lenore Beadsman, an emotionally adrift switchboard operator in the Great Ohio Desert. The mysterious disappearance of her great-grandmother and twenty-five other elderly residents from a Shaker Heights nursing home is just one of the problems she faces. Her adventure is complicated by an affair with her boss, Rick Vigorous, and the television fame of her talking cockatoo, Vlad the Impaler. This original and funny novel explores the search for love and self-determination amidst strange situations and minor catastrophes.
