Brutish & Short have posted a review/overview, of All Things Shining: Reading the Western Classics to Find Meaning in a Secular Age by Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly, The Insufficient Impracticality of David Foster Wallace. The book contains a chapter about DFW, David Foster Wallace's Nihilism (which you can preview via Amazon.com).
Update:
From the review:
[...] To get a handle on the modern experience of doubt, and to strengthen their claim that this is a serious problem, the authors turn to David Foster Wallace (“greatest writer of his generation”) and Elizabeth Gilbert (reigning “chick lit queen”). They chose these two for three principal reasons:
- Both writers’ work has obviously resonated within the culture;
- Both have openly reckoned with the existential doubt Dreyfus and Kelly are concerned with; and
- Both claim to understand the writer’s task as showing the way out from our current entropic darkness to the light of a renewed sense of meaning.
