I love me some DFW, so when we stumbled on this audio book with the master himself reading, we wanted to get it out ASAP. This is not the full book, it's abridged, but it's still three hours long and features narration by some actors from the film. R.I.P. DFW.
From Publisher's Weekly:
A host of talented narrators and actors—including television actors John Krasinski and Christopher Meloni—deliver nuanced performances of the late Wallace's classic. But it's the author himself who steals the show: his gentle, almost dreamy voice unlocks the elaborate syntax and releases the immense feeling concealed by the comedy and labyrinthine sentences. While the various narrators ably capture the essence of the text, Wallace's renditions of such stories as Forever Overhead and Death Is Not the End are transcendent. Essential listening for Wallace fans and a fine introduction for newcomers.
