IJ

[jbor at bigpond.com]

This article gives a pretty decent overview of the post-Pynchon and 
DeLillo crop of American postmoderns and what they're on about, and 
rates Wallace and his achievement with IJ (and the rest of his work) 
fairly and sensibly.

The short story collection mentioned might be a good place to start if 
you're having trouble getting into the longer stuff of Wallace & co.
