The Pale King by David Foster Wallace
The Pale King offers another new look at office culture — albeit categorically different from that of Georges Perec — but the novel’s substance tends to be overshadowed by its renown as David Foster Wallace’s last (and uncompleted) work. The book promises to have all the hallmark complexities of his other work, but is tinged with the bittersweet fragmentation of its unpolished construction.
Release Date: April 15

That book “The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore” bears about 98% similarity to the plot of a Futurama episode in which Prof. Farnsworth creates a hat that allows a monkey to be as smart as a human, and the monkey struggles with meaning of life, romance, etc. Like…. hello?!?!
