Question
An essay about one of these places that describes the sky as a “vast lapis lazuli dome” was written by Frank Conroy for a brochure. A man referred to as “Captain Video” is often seen in one of these places in a work that ends after the narrator is put into a trance by the hypnotist Nigel Ellery. While he’s in one of these places named for Gunnar Myrdal, Alfred deliriously talks to his “turd” in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections. Greeks like “Mr. Dermatitis” run one of these places in an essay whose author bemoans the “pampering” he had to endure. In one of many footnotes, that essay’s author dubs one of these places Nadir instead of Zenith. For 10 points, the essay “A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again” recounts David Foster Wallace’s week-long trip in what kind of seagoing vessel? ■END■
