--Bill Gates "David Foster Wallace's Federer essay turned me into an avid tennis fan."
--Lin-Manuel Miranda,

"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
