1. Pale King or Noonday Demon? Acedia, The Pale King, and David Foster Wallace's Moral Vision.
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Litteratur - Kultur – Media; Lunds universitet/LitteraturvetenskapSammanfattning : This essay argues that acedia is a helpful concept in illuminating the fiction of the American author David Foster Wallace, particularly his unfinished novel The Pale King.
