Getting Away from Already Being Pretty Much Away from It All: An Essay by David Foster Wallace - ★★★★

An excellent and thoroughly detailed examination of the Illinois State Fair by DFW. Fantastic details that remind me of my own visits to the California State Fair. Wallace covers everything in detail from the Ag pros to the carnies, with their sickening tans. He attempts to capture the entire fair from the attendees to the workers to the situation. It's long and incredibly detailed, but probably worth it. It's always fun to spend time with David Foster Wallace.
