String Theory: David Foster Wallace on Tennis

Novelist, essayist, and one-time “near-great junior tennis player” David Foster Wallace (1962 -2008), wrote about tennis with an insider’s authority and the addictive enthusiasm of a dedicated fan. String Theory has profile essays of five tennis greats including Roger Federer, winner of 103 ATP singles titles, and Tracy Austin, the former world number one who at the age of 16 was the youngest ever US Open female singles champion. Literary critics and sports writers alike have hailed String Theory as an example of some of the most innovative magazine writing in recent memory.
