David Foster Wallace T-Shirt: Celebrate the Work of a Literary Master
David Foster Wallace was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and academic who is considered one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. His work is known for its complex and challenging explorations of modern life, often with a focus on themes of addiction, depression, and the nature of reality.
Wallace was born in 1962 in Ithaca, New York. He attended Amherst College, where he was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and then went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. His first book, The Broom of the System, was published in 1987.
Wallace's most famous work is the 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which is a sprawling, encyclopedic work that explores a wide range of topics, including addiction, entertainment, and the nature of consciousness. The novel was a critical and commercial success, and it has been praised by critics for its ambition and intelligence.
Wallace's other notable works include the short story collections Girl with Curious Hair (1989) and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (1999), the essay collection A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again (1997), and the non-fiction book Consider the Lobster (2005). He also wrote for a variety of magazines and newspapers, including The New Yorker, Harper's, and The New York Times Magazine.
Wallace died by suicide in 2008 at the age of 46. His death was a shock to the literary world, and his work continues to be read and studied by readers and scholars alike.

Most of our t-shirts are printed onto the Gildan range of clothing. The Gildan tees are 100% preshrunk cotton. We find these tees are particularly suited to DTG printing and are available in a wide variety of sizes and colours. Occasionally, when stock dictates, we will use a similar brand of equivalent quality.
All of our t-shirts are manufactured using the latest Direct To Garment printing (DTG) printing methods. Unlike traditional screen printing DTG does not require detailed layer seperation, screen preparation etc which makes it the ideal print solution for detailed, multi-coloured designs. As the name suggests, all our t-shirts have their designs printed directly onto the garment using specially formulated garment inks.
For best results we recommend washing all our t-shirts inside out with similar colours and on a cool 30 degree wash. To avoid any excessive shrinkage avoid the tumble dryer and let Mother Nature do her work by line drying your tee.
