About This Item
New York: Ecco Press, 1990. First appearance of Foster Wallace's first book. Octavo, original wrappers as issued. Signed by David Foster Wallace. In fine condition. The first article is a 20 page essay from David Foster Wallace and Mark Costello on Rap music, entitled Signifying Rappers. Living together in Cambridge in 1989, David Foster Wallace and longtime friend Mark Costello discovered that they shared "an uncomfortable, somewhat furtive, and distinctively white enthusiasm for a certain music called rap/hip-hop." The book they wrote together, set against the legendary Boston music scene, mapped the bipolarities of rap and pop, rebellion and acceptance, glitz and gangsterdom.
