The Quarterly Conversation in Best of the Web 2008An essay first published in The Quarterly Conversation will appear in Best of the Web 2008 from Dzanc Books.
The essay is The One that Got Away by Garth Risk Hallberg. It takes on James Wood’s negative opinion of Don DeLillo’s mammoth novel Underworld and explains why, in fact, Underworld is a model of innovative fiction.
