A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
"A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" is an essay by the author David Foster Wallace. In it, he recounts his experience on a luxury cruise, exploring the contradictions of leisure and the superficiality of the vacation experience.
Wallace reflects on the artificiality of the cruise environment, where everything is designed for pleasure but often feels hollow. He critiques the culture of excess and the pursuit of happiness through consumption, ultimately questioning the true value of such experiences.
