yeah, he is a pretty good writer. He doesn't exist though so why think about him like that?

The book of ebin memes

>> No.6009568

That feel when I've now read everything he ever published and there will never be any new DFW.

I've also read some critical material and stuff, but I don't think I will bother with D. T. Max's biography. Max seems like a sensationalist and a huckster to me, and based on certain writings and remarks of DFW's (e.g. "Borges on the Couch") I don't think he would have approved of the book.
