Encyclopedia: David Foster Wallace (2170 words)
Wallace's largest influence on U.S. fiction can be summarized as a very ambitious and multifaceted attempt to transcend the very prevalent contemporary mode of irony, which he presumably sees as a hindrance in making his art more authentic — if not the actual relationships between human beings, themselves.
Wallace's novels are sprawling and ambitious; they often meld writing in various modes, and incorporate jargon and vocabulary (sometimes quasi-invented) from a wide variety of fields.
Void thus stared into, Wallace pulls back to plot the history of ∞-as-concept, which is largely one of apprehension and equivocation—first feared (by the Greeks, who outlawed it along with zero and the negative numbers), then dismissed and fudged, and finally reimagined as a valid mathematical entity.

David A. Wallace, an influential urban planner who spent decades reviving urban downtowns and waterfronts, most notably Baltimore's Inner Harbor, was found dead along with his wife Monday in their Philadelphia home.
Wallace and three partners -- Ian McHarg, William Roberts, and Thomas Todd -- created the conceptual plan that was to be the blueprint for three decades of rebuilding along Baltimore's once-grubby waterfront.
Wallace's work in Baltimore won his firm a job in New York in 1965 writing a master plan for a redevelopment of Lower Manhattan to complement the then-ongoing construction of the World Trade Center.
