"This book has nothing to do with physics, but its title will make you look super smart if you're reading it on a train or plane." --Bill Gates "David Foster Wallace's Federer essay turned me into an avid tennis fan." --Lin-Manuel Miranda, The New York Times Book Review "A wonderful and inspiring collection for fans of either tennis or eye-popping prose." --Austin American-Statesman "String Theory stands as a monument to Wallace's talent--and his dedication to the game." --Doug Perry, The Oregonian/The Spin of the Ball "This collection is a tennis classic that deserves shelf space next to John McPhee's Levels of the Game and Brad Gilbert's Winning Ugly." --Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News "David Foster Wallace's essays on tennis are a treasure, some of the best writing ever on the sport, and they are all here in the Library of America's this deluxe hardcover collector's edition." --NY Sports Day "Ruminative, digressive, lyrical, funny, sad, sometimes borderline lunatic, these posthumously collected journalistic pieces have all the hallmarks of Wallace's novels." --The Washington Post "A remarkable volume. . . . The tennis-obsessive will find Wallace's considerations almost bewilderingly insightful." --The Telegraph (UK) "Wallace's grasp of tennis was truly prodigious. . . . He has often been described as the best tennis writer of all time, and these essays don't disabuse that notion." --The Guardian (UK) "What makes this collection so valuable for serious tennis fans is the chance to see 'the most beautiful sport there is' through Wallace's eyes." --Toure, Town & Country
