FlumeAward – Although of Course You End up Becoming Yourself A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace Discussion page for Although of Course You End up Becoming Yourself A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace by David Lipsky
What might appeal to teens: romance of road trip, Lipsky’s point of view as observer, Wallace’s sometimes funny, sometimes mean, but often on-the-mark comments/observations about people and society, frank discussion of suicide and mental illness
What might freak them out: Wallace’s (and Lipsky’s) assumption that Wallace’s suicide was inevitable
Book is a bit rambling, seems to me that teen audience may be limited to those who are familiar with Wallace’s work
