false 45760 11 Girl with Curious Hair is a collection of short stories by David Foster Wallace, first published in 1990. Though they are not related, many of the stories share the theme of society's fascination with celebrity, some using real celebrities, including Alex Trebek, David Letterman and Lyndon Johnson, as fictional characters. Several stories also mock or criticise what Wallace saw as negative trends in the literary scene, including the cynical, amoral realism of 1980s "Brat Pack" writers such as Bret Easton Ellis, as well as postmodern literary criticism and metafiction. A novella, "Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way", draws heavily on John Barth's metafictional short story "Lost in the Funhouse". 867251 1988 Girl With Curious Hair total:1643|5:369|4:700|3:455|2:94|1:25| 1643 6223 2461 139 4 4 false false Mon Mar 24 15:22:39 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 15:22:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 4 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Sat Dec 22 07:25:23 -0800 2007 Mon Oct 06 11:44:02 -0700 2008 2 Mi reseña propiamente dicha de 'La niña del pelo raro'
