Críticas:
"This book has nothing to do with physics, but its title will make you look super smart if you're reading it on a train or plane." --Bill Gates "David Foster Wallace's Federer essay turned me into an avid tennis fan."
--Lin-Manuel Miranda, The New York Times Book Review
"A wonderful and inspiring collection for fans of either tennis or eye-popping prose."
--Austin American-Statesman "String Theory stands as a monument to Wallace's talent--and his dedication to the game."
--Doug Perry, The Oregonian/The Spin of the Ball "This collection is a tennis classic that deserves shelf space next to John McPhee's Levels of the Game and Brad Gilbert's Winning Ugly." --Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News
"David Foster Wallace's essays on tennis are a treasure, some of the best writing ever on the sport, and they are all here in the Library of America's this deluxe hardcover collector's edition."
--NY Sports Day "Ruminative, digressive, lyrical, funny, sad, sometimes borderline lunatic, these posthumously collected journalistic pieces have all the hallmarks of Wallace's novels." --The Washington Post
"A remarkable volume. . . . The tennis-obsessive will find Wallace's considerations almost bewilderingly insightful." --The Telegraph (UK)
"Wallace's grasp of tennis was truly prodigious. . . . He has often been described as the best tennis writer of all time, and these essays don't disabuse that notion." --The Guardian (UK) "What makes this collection so valuable for serious tennis fans is the chance to see 'the most beautiful sport there is' through Wallace's eyes." --Toure, Town & Country

An instant classic of American sportswriting—the tennis essays of David Foster Wallace, “the best mind of his generation” (A. O. Scott) and “the best tennis-writer of all time” (New York Times)
Gathered for the first time in a deluxe collector's edition, here are David Foster Wallace's legendary writings on tennis, five tour-de-force pieces written with a competitor's insight and a fan's obsessive enthusiasm. Wallace brings his dazzling literary magic to the game he loved as he celebrates the other-worldly genius of Roger Federer; offers a wickedly witty disection of Tracy Austin's memoir; considers the artistry of Michael Joyce, a supremely disciplined athlete on the threshold of fame; resists the crush of commerce at the U.S. Open; and recalls his own career as a "near-great" junior player.
Whiting Award-winning writer John Jeremiah Sullivan provides an introduction.
