Review Quotes
- "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, a collection of stories that, like his earlier collection, Girl With Curious Hair as well as Infinite Jest, is filled with desperation, loneliness and addiction. Early reviewers from the likes of Publishers Weekly and Kirkus seem baffled by this book. Its formal innovations, its ironic play across the plain of ideas in addition to character, make it a difficult book for average readers to pin down."—SalonSalon: A Baffling Man ( May 28, 1999)
- "It's the directorial debut of John Krasinski, whom you know and love as Jim Halpert on The Office. He also adapted the screenplay from the novel by David Foster Wallace, which is a daunting task in and of itself. The whole thing -- about a spurned woman who sets out to discover why men are such bastards -- is so fraught with peril that it will either be one of the best films of the festival [Sundance 2009], or one of the most horrific disasters. Either way, we can't wait!"—Film.comFilm.com: Sundance 2009: Six Movies to Look For (January 5, 2009)
