'''David Foster Wallace''' (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was a professor at [[Pomona College]] in Claremont, [[California]], and a writer of both fiction and nonfiction. He is perhaps best known for his 1996 novel, ''Infinite Jest'', which was named by [[Time Magazine]] as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.

Born in Ithaca, [[New York]], Wallace was a [[tennis]] player and majored in [[English]] and philosophy. Aside from writing novels, he wrote short stories in [[magazine]]s such as Playboy, The Paris Review, The New Yorker and others. Wallace has also written nonfiction. He covered [[Senator]] [[John McCain]]'s 2000 [[President]]ial [[campaign]] and the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] for [[Rolling Stone]]. In the November 2007 issue of Atlantic Monthly, Wallace questioned whether terrorist attacks were unavoidable "without subverting the very principles that make [America] worth protecting?"<ref>http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200711/wallace-safety</ref>

Wallace committed [[suicide]] by hanging on Friday, September 12, 2008 at age 46. <ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/15/books/15wallace.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin</ref>
