About the author

Author: David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer known for his complex, deeply ironic, yet compassionate exploration of modern life. His landmark novel Infinite Jest examines addiction, entertainment, and loneliness in a hyper-mediated society. Wallace’s writing is characterized by intellectual playfulness, footnotes, and an acute awareness of human vulnerability. He sought authenticity in a culture drowning in irony, making his work both challenging and profoundly human.
Besides Infinite Jest, his other most well-known works include The Pale King, an unfinished novel about boredom and bureaucracy, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, a collection exploring human relationships, and Consider the Lobster, which showcases his distinctive style in nonfiction.

About this project

A Book to Wear is a collection of enamel book pins created by illustrator Judy Kaufmann for independent bookstores, concept shops, museums, and readers who enjoy connecting with books in a more personal and meaningful way. Each pin is dedicated to a specific author or literary work, from 1984 and Jane Eyre to Susan Sontag, Annie Ernaux, Mary Shelley, and The Bell Jar. Designed to sit naturally alongside books, the collection encourages impulse purchases while blending seamlessly into carefully curated literary spaces. A custom wooden display is also available, making the pins easy to present neatly at the counter.
