David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American author of novels, essays and short-stories, and a professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California. He was best known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which Time included in its All-Time 100 Greatest Novels list (covering the period 1923–2006). Los Angeles Times book editor David Ulin called Wallace “one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last 20 years.” Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (1999) is a collection of twenty-three short stories by David Foster Wallace. Several of the stories, all entitled “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men,” are presented as transcripts of interviews with male subjects. Each male has some repulsive characteristic upon which he elaborates. The questions of the hypothetical interviewer are omitted from the transcripts, allowing the stories to focus on the men themselves. These stories set the tone for the rest of the collection, which is characterized by dark dry humor, alienation, and bizarre sexuality. In 1997 Wallace was awarded the Aga Khan Prize for Fiction by editors of The Paris Review for “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men #6″, which had appeared in the magazine. Twelve of the “Interviews” were adapted into a stage play in 2000, marking the first theatrical adaptation of any of Wallace’s works. The play, Hideous Men, was adapted and directed by Dylan McCullough and received its premiere at the New York International Fringe Festival in August of 2000. Actor John Krasinski of The Office has adapted and directed a film version for release in 2009 based on the “Brief Interviews” stories. Julianne Nicholson plays Sara Quinn, the interviewer unnamed in the stories.
