>The lecturer goes on about how critical theory will blow our minds and make us question everything before sperging out about how DFW is writing about Late Stage Capitalism and how marxism is the answer

I'm honestly not making any of this up. My university lecturer spent 1 hour of my compulsory critical theory course talking about David Foster Wallace in the context of late stage capitalism. The reason I posted it on /lit/ was precisely because of the absurdity.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 23 11:06:23 2017 No.10061237 >>10061227 I'm redpilled I believe capitalism is good, and DFW knew this. His criticism in his books instead are against communism and leftism, NOT capitalism or traditionalism, which belong together
