I just finished reading Infinite Jest, and it taught me that we as human beings are all damaged to some degree, and the sooner we learn this, the more easily we will move among others. I wish this realization would have helped DFW. R.I.P.
I think Sartre would believe it, simply another thread of brillance David weaves seemingly effortlessly in his writting. I'm hesitant to say anything concrete about such a dynamic artist. Part of his genius is his ability to translate the depth of his self conscious to the point that his reader begins to carry the weight of each word he writes along with him.
The Pale King's smidgens are already awe-inspiring.
".. to care about people, and to sacrifice for them day after day in myriad little unsexxy ways day after day. That is real freedom." Great quote from dfw.
I just heard about DFW a few days ago. I know, I know.. I'm behind. Especially seeing as Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors (someone who is in the same vein/style as DFW). He is a very talented author, though.
The opposite happened to me. I discovered Vonnegut after having been a student (and fan) of Dave's while I was in the graduate program at Illinois State.
