Review of 'The Broom of the System' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Wanted to finish this, DFW's first published work, before reading [b:The Pale King|9443405|The Pale King|David Foster Wallace|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1301009847s/9443405.jpg|6498897], his last.

Broom is funny, multi-leveled, erudite without being unreadable. Overall a brilliant work. I understand that DFW refused to incorporate several edits and later regretted that decision. Would have been interesting to see how the book would have ended up, but as published, I am very impressed.

And no footnotes.
