{"product_id":"9781598534801","title":"String Theory: David Foster Wallace On Tennis","description":"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.","brand":"David Foster Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46950854295870,"sku":"9781598534801","price":497.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781598534801_19f124b9-02af-452c-ae09-21702337cb8e.jpg?v=1707563278","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781598534801","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
