  abstract: "Fictions of Proximity explores the nexus of writers around David Foster Wallace who shaped a trend in literature the study calls the 'post-positivist novel.' It provides new readings of these writers, both of their canonical and lesser-known works, and situates them with respect to prominent figures in contemporary post-positivist philosophy"--
