>Is his maximalist info-tainment prose not really radically breaking traditional narrative structure and is actually just the neutral product of an empty consumerist bang-for-your-buck model of capitalist efficiency in the novel?

JQ is the Jewish Question. and yes, DFW wrote extensively about it.

>there is one problem that is not discussed publicly, one that it is delicate even to mention: the Jewish question.


>The Jew is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

>The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

I need to tear the spine stickers off a bunch of books, y'know the ones that are usually on library books, yeah, those, ha ha
so, got any tips. the stickers on the top were easy pickings, but the spine stickers are a bitch. I don't want to scrape off some off the spine by sliding scissors across it, even if that might work, which I even doubt that.
I was advised I should do this.
so people don't know
