Fate Time Language Pre-publication Review

I've been making my way through an e-book pre-pub version of the upcoming Fate, Time and Language: An Essay on Free Will (publication and analysis of David Foster Wallace's philosophy thesis, Due Dec 14) and enjoying it quite a bit. The essays do a very good job of contextualising Wallace's work and explaining the complexity and importance of the philosophy behind it, and the book is worth it for the supporting material.
 
In the meantime Paul Debraski has managed a whole review.
 
He does an excellent job of summarising the thesis and the supporting essays in the collection giving it a positive review. Check it out over at I Just Read About That...
 
UPDATE:  The Columbia University Press site now has an excerpt from Ryerson's introduction available to read.
