Consider The Lobster

Audible.com offers a free download of David Foster Wallace’s essay “Consider The Lobster”.

I listened to it a couple of years ago and found it very interesting. Thought you might too. If you’ve never read anything by him, it’s an easy entry point. Versus, say, spending the whole summer reading his epic tome. Which I totally would have done if I didn’t have a bunch of required reading to do this summer.

If that link above doesn’t work, try this Google search of Audible.com and look for the word “Free Excerpt”.

(It’s the entire essay, but it’s an excerpt of a larger collection of essays they have by him, so they call it an excerpt. Confused yet?)
