WTF is going on in this thread??

I have one simple way to refute and destroy any argument made against me. I am not a prisoner. I am merely taking a very long bow.

What is it about DFW that self obsessed liberal arts majors find so appealing?

Should i read Infinite Jest or The Pale King first.

*teleports behind you*
Heh. This is water, kid.

David Foster Wallace

/lit/ could you please give me a quick gestalt on this man?

Unquestionably DFW.

Step aside.

It's what he would have wanted.

Happy birthday, David!

So many posts about pic related, and yet all of you neglected to mention that he committed suicide. Wow, it shocked me. I haven't read any of his works, by the way.

all i kno is the this is water speech, it almost made me cry
im scared /lit/

Prepping myself for Infinite Jest, /lit/. I've read A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never do Again and liked it a lot. Should I move on to Consider the Lobster or Brief Interviews with Hideous Men?

How can this guy be such a good orator and such a poor writer? I literally can't stand reading any of his essays, short stories or novels but can listen to his interviews for hours. What is it about DFW that makes him such a competent speaker? How would one write in a soothing, non-preachy way (just like DFW speech)?

>I bet he's been smoking pot for the last twenty years watching TV

Is Pynchon just going to take this?

One word:

Headbands

Redpill me on David Foster Wallace /lit/
