The End of the Tour (opens August 14th in Cleveland)

Review by Pamela Zoslov

“Suicide is such a powerful end, it reaches back and scrambles the beginning,” wrote David Lipsky in his memoir of the writer David Foster Wallace, who hanged himself in 2008 at age 46, after writing his wife a two-page note and spreading out the pages of his unfinished novel The Pale King nearby. “It has an event gravity: Eventually, every memory and impression gets tugged in its direction.”
