On April 5, 2012, the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin launched The David Foster Wallace Symposium with the event "Everything and More: A Conversation About David Foster Wallace." Literary agent Bonnie Nadell and Little, Brown editor Michael Pietsch spoke with Los Angeles Times book critic David Ulin about their work with David Foster Wallace.

Wallace's archive is housed at the Ransom Center.

Oh, to be edited by either of the editors on that stage......to get to that point. "Infinite Jest" was the first work DFW took an advance on, so I'm sure he felt a combination of excitement and dread at that prospect. This is a unique video for the info given on the author/editor relationship....we all think we know what that relationship is, but it's great to hear the professionals explain it. And the DFW stories are great. Thanks!
