Death Is Not The End
I first learned about David Foster Wallace from Amazon - his name came up as 'related reading' at some point during my usual lurking. The excerpt I read was a 'short story' from a book called Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and it caught me right away, by the throat. I ended up with the book (after being in denial for a while I finally broke down and purchased it in St. Louis) and thought it was great.
This past Sunday I had breakfast with D and while meandering through the Sunday Times found this article on Wallace who is currently teaching and writing at Pomona College. His course is called "Eclectic / Obscure Fictions for Writers" and the reading list is noted in the article for those of us who can't attend such but love to pretend.
There are also some Wallace quotes which seem out of context but nevertheless sparkle. Worth the radar -
