In the stories that make up Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness--a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his. These are worlds undreamt-of by any other mind.

En los cuentos de Julio Cortázar, el juego es cosa seria: está en la estructura de los relatos, en el fino tejido de los diversos planos narrativos e incluso en las reglas que se imponen los propios personajes a riesgo de pagar con la vida. Acaso ello explique el gusto cortazariano por la transgresión, esa tendencia a disolver el orden establecido.

The eight stories here show Wells in various moods and foreshadow his celebrity. These are uncanny tales, resonating strangely, despite arising from ordinary thoughts, interactions, and memories. Wells shows just how fantastic the everyday can be, if one only pauses to reflect on missed chances, suggestions of what might have been, bleak premonitions of blessed futures whose utopian promise is destroyed by new forms of war.
