Talk:Consider the Lobster

They say that a lobster has a brain about the size of a grasshopper's, which is really a collection of ganglia nerve endings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.228.216 (talk) 15:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

"Grammar and Authenticity in Postmodern America" by Amelia Atlas in The Harvard Book Review (Winter 2006) Jim Stinson (talk) 23:17, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Reviews
Reviewer Pankaj Mishra from The New York Times writes that "If some American writers have a carefully hedged relation with actuality, or prefer an evasive irony over passionate engagement, this has at least something to do with their membership, in these days of generous publishing advances, fellowships and grants, in their country's most privileged classes. Wallace is clearly an exception". On The Guardian Robert McCrum writes that "Consider the Lobster offers an exhilarating short-cut to the mind of a writer for whom autocastration is a good reason to investigate 'adult entertainment'".

Consider the Lobster Controversy
The title essay garnered controversy from its publication in Gourmet because it was "over 7,000 words... but more importantly, it was dark and confrontational in a way that the magazine’s readers were not used to".
