What is the author's style in A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments by David Foster Wallace?

David Foster Wallace is a native of Illinois, but Wallace left the Midwest to attend college at Amherst in Massachusetts. Wallace later receives a Master in Fine Arts in creative writing from the University of Arizona and studies briefly at Harvard. These travels leave Wallace feeling more like an Easterner than a Midwesterner, a theme which he explores when he returns to Illinois to cover the Illinois State Fair for Harper's Magazine.
