Lesson 24 - David Foster Wallace, "The Pale King" (Dr. David Corbin)
Novelist David Foster Wallace discusses the challenges modern Americans face through a portrait of various fictional characters who work for the IRS. What has produced our national decline? Corporations? The Government? Or 'We the People'? Wallace posits that the true crisis might be personal and existential, and suggests a renewed accounting of our own lives and the lives of others might help us find our way out of this crisis.
