New from David Foster Wallace *

This week's New Yorker publishes All That, new fiction by the late David Foster Wallace, who killed himself last year. In March, the magazine published an excerpt from his last book.

Also in The New Yorker: Alex Ross on Gustavo Dudamel and the L.A. Philharmonic. And, not online without a subscription, Jeffrey Toobin tracks the arc of the Roman Polanski sex case.

* Add DFW: Tin House magazine also has a Wallace story, "The Planet Trillaphon as it Stands in Relation to the Bad Thing."
