<b>David Foster Wallace and Mark Costello's exuberant exploration of rap music and culture.</b> <p/> Living together in Cambridge in 1989, David Foster Wallace and longtime friend Mark Costello discovered that they shared an uncomfortable, somewhat furtive, and distinctively white enthusiasm for a certain music called rap/hip-hop. <p/> The book they wrote together, set against the legendary Boston music scene, mapped the bipolarities of rap and pop, rebellion and acceptance, glitz and gangsterdom. <i>Signifying Rappers</i> issued a fan's challenge to the giants of rock writing, Greil Marcus, Robert Palmer, and Lester Bangs: Could the new street beats of 1989 set us free, as rock had always promised? <p/> Back in print at last, <i>Signifying Rappers</i> is a rare record of a city and a summer by two great thinkers, writers, and friends. With a new foreword by Mark Costello on his experience writing with David Foster Wallace, this rerelease cannot be missed.<br><br><b>Author:</b> David Foster Wallace, Mark Costello<br><b>Publisher:</b> Back Bay Books<br><b>Published:</b> 07/23/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316225830<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>David Foster Wallace</b> was born in Ithaca, New York, in 1962 and raised in Illinois, where he was a regionally ranked junior tennis player.
