David Foster Wallace's "Consider the Lobster" article. This was initially written for the magazine Gourmet after he was hired to cover the 2004 Maine Lobster Festival. Beyond the obvious (i. e. a lobster festival), what is this article about? What does the act of considering lobsters reveal more broadly about American culture? What might this consideration have revealed about the author's place within their own historical moment (early 2000s United States), how contemporary Americans compare to other societies, or how we may be viewed in the future?
