'The self-consuming solipsism of a culture crying out for community'--great condensation of 1000 tough pages.

Humans have the ability to understand abstract concepts. Yet most of them do not question anything, anyone, nor any miserable situation which they are in. David Foster Wallace points out to us in his stories how hideously humans allow about any situation which causes them to suffer horrendously, just because they do not question anything. Once humans would begin to question their lives, authorities, corporations, religions, themselves, things would begin to become ethical and loving and healthy.

Thank you so much for posting this. This is the best piece about DFW I've heard or read since his death. Ward provided much insight. The narrated selections from Dave's writing were perfect. The contributions from his sister Amy and friend Mark Costello were touching and illuminating. DFW was so much more than his depression. A great place to learn more about the kind of person DFW was is McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Memories of David Foster Wallace.

Picked up a copy of The Pale King at Powell's today, surprised to see it out so soon. I thought it was being released on tax day. Can't wait to dive in. Too bad it's his last work.
