An absolute literary must. After David Foster Wallace's suicide, journalist David Lipsky wrote an autobiographical novel about their unforgettable meeting. Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg star in an emotional film about being in the realm of a genius.
Synopsis
In the winter of 1996, two ambitious young men, unknown to each other, embark on a five-day road trip, during which each tries, sometimes nervously, sometimes defiantly, to discover himself. One is David Lipsky, a still "unripe" journalist for the Rolling Stone magazine, and the other is 34-year-old David Foster Wallace, a literary rock star, suddenly emerging as the most brilliant writer and social observer of his generation.
