In the stories that make up Oblivion, David Foster Wallace joins the rawest, most naked humanity with the infinite involutions of self-consciousness -- a combination that is dazzlingly, uniquely his.

These are worlds undreamt of by any other mind. Only David Foster Wallace could convey a father's desperate loneliness by way of his son's daydreaming through a teacher's homicidal breakdown ("The Soul Is Not a Smithy"). Or could explore the deepest and most hilarious aspects of creativity by delineating the office politics surrounding a magazine profile of an artist who produces miniature sculptures in an anatomically inconceivable way ("The Suffering Channel"). Or capture the ache of love's breakdown in the painfully polite apologies of a man who believes his wife is hallucinating the sound of his snoring ("Oblivion").

Each of these stories is a complete world, as fully imagined as most entire novels, at once preposterously surreal and painfully immediate.

"Stunning...Wallace is an astonishing storyteller whose fiction reminds us why we learned to read in the first place." --San Francisco Chronicle

5 star coffee experience from your home
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
The Nespresso Vertuo pods are absolutely worth it! The coffee is rich, smooth, and full of flavor every single time. I love how consistent the quality is — whether I’m making a bold morning cup or a lighter afternoon coffee, it always tastes fresh and perfectly brewed. The crema on top is such a nice touch and makes it feel like I’m drinking coffee from a café at home. There’s also a great variety of flavors and intensities, so it’s easy to switch things up depending on my mood. They’re super convenient, brew quickly, and the quality is unbeatable. If you have a Vertuo machine, these pods are a must-have. Definitely a 5-star coffee experience!

Great flavors! Quick shipment - why not?!
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I love these flavors! I'm new to Nespresso and these flavors do not disappoint! I love sweet cream in coffee so I still use that, but really not a big need. I heat up the creamer in the microwave first, then fill my cup with nespresso, the result - is a super yummy, flavorful, coffee. wow! I can't wait to try more flavors!!

Absolute perfection these are now my daily cup instead of coffee shops now
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I finally picked up the Nespresso Vertuo Barista Flavored Pack, and I have to say, these are the perfect coffee flavors. They arrived in the original Nespresso boxes, (I’ve been duped before) which ensures freshness and quality right out of the gate. The pack includes three fantastic varieties: Sweet Vanilla, Golden Caramel, and Roasted Hazelnut. Each one brews a smooth 7.8oz cup with that signature, velvety crema on top. The Sweet Vanilla is subtle and it adds a gentle sweetness without being artificial or overpowering . The Golden Caramel is rich with those lovely biscuity flavors, making it feel like a treat every morning . The Roasted Hazelnut is probably my favorite; the nutty flavor is perfect with a little milk and honey, and it smells incredible while brewing . I love that they are a medium roast, so they have enough body to stand up to a splash of milk or cream, but they are also smooth enough to drink black. Knowing the capsules are fully recyclable is a nice bonus, too . If you are looking to elevate your coffee routine without leaving the house, this variety pack is a must try. Highly recommended I’ve bought it a few time already and it beats spending $8 on a mediocre coffee at a coffee shop where the barista hates making coffee for people who love coffee.

So delicious and full of flavor. Love the variety pack
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I love the variety! They all taste delicious and I love that they are color coded and easy to distinguish what is what. You definitely only need one or two cups. Very good coffee. I used to drink a pot of coffee. With these it is 2 cups. Plenty of caffeine for an energetic day. Will buy more
