[[David Foster Wallace]]'s first novel, '''''The Broom of the System''''' was published in 1987.
The novel focuses on Lenore Beadsman, a 24-year-old telephone switchboard operator from a [[Big Screwed-Up Family|wealthy and eccentric family]], who isn't sure whether she exists or not. Over the course of the novel, she has to deal with the disappearance/escape of her [[Evil Matriarch|great]][[Old Master|grandmother]], [[Magnificent Bastard|also named Lenore Beadsman]], (and a number of other patients and employees) from the nursing home the Beadsman family also owns, the increasingly obvious neurotic [[Crazy Jealous Guy|jealousy]] of her [[Loser Archetype|boyfriend]] Rick/[[Ironic Nickname|Dick]] [[Non-Indicative Name|Vigorous]], and the sudden verbosity of her cockatiel [[Deathbringer the Adorable|Vlad the Impaler]] and his proceeding fame as the co-host of an [[Acceptable Religious Targets|Evangelical Christian]] TV show.
