David Foster Wallace's final and most ambitious undertaking - an audacious, hilarious novel that will be a major international publishing event.The agents at the IRS Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois, appear ordinary enough to newly-arrived trainee David Foster Wallace. But as he immerses himself in a routine so tedious and repetitive that new employees receive boredom-survival training, he learns of the extraordinary variety of personalities drawn to this strange calling.

Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for a writer who dared to take on
