Description: A nonfiction book about rap music. His first book of nonfiction, after one novel and a collection of short stories. Signed by Wallace. For all that Wallace's fiction was admired and emulated, five of his six books published from 2000 on were nonfiction, and some have suggested that because his nonfiction was so relatively accessible compared to his fiction, it may comprise a more lasting legacy for him. Only issued in wrappers. Fine. From the collection of Bruce Kahn. read more
