THE PALE KING: Monologues From The Unfinished Novel By David Foster Wallace

[smith37s]

Apparently The Pale King had a lot of fragments which did not have a underlying narrative/plot yet at the time of his death. Makes it good for doing selected readings, not so good as a complete novel.

Interesting interpretation of a sliver of the book...reading the fucker was such an interior experience for me it's cool to see others visibly sharing the dude's work, and it's impact on them. Kudos.

Not Rollins :(

didn't think it would, but this video made me choke up... we lost DFW way too soon but he left behind a wonderful body of work that will be analyzed for centuries, and the best compliment I can give him is that his writing makes me feel less alone inside.

Lemme just say, for one night, I'm really disappointed LA is not where I live. The show seemed like a one time, intimate, you-had-to-be-there experience. Damn.

@Emiligia Yes, but you can do that type of get together reading belletristic novels or philosophy books or poetry with people just like they did with Henry Rollins. Why yearn for the celebrity group? I do understand what you are saying, I feel the same way, but why be meeting celebrities when you can meet really amazing people in your own town? I know its hard to find really brainy people everywhere, but we have to give non famous people a chance, too, they can be interesting as well.

Hell. Yes.
