Résumé 0

The article concentrates on David Foster Wallace’s collection of short stories Girl With Curious Hair, published in 1989. Not only do Wallace’s characters and situations always flirt with perversion, but the poetics of the text itself bears some resemblance with the psychotic discourse, as defined by Rosolato. Highly impregnated with Pop-culture (brand names, television shows, political figures...), the stories express a tension between an overt (thematic) rejection of the body and a textual invasion of the body’s signifiers. In his openly metafictional stories, as well as in the more traditional ones, D.F. Wallace stages contemporary ordinary language with both satirical and poetical effects.
