Little, Brown announced that David Foster Wallace’s posthumous unfinished novel THE PALE KING will be published April 15, 2011. The book is set at an IRS tax-return-processing center in Illinois, and agent Bonnie Nadell observes it “may be the first novel to make accountants and IRS agents into heroes.” The just-released jacket was created by his widow Karen Green, a painter and visual artist. The publisher plans to convene events on the release day and will help bookstores “link up with local writers to lead readings and discussions of The Pale King and to celebrate David Wallace.”
