His prose is turgid and prolix.
And he killed himself in the most banal way. Bleh.

Wallace talks in this extended interview about how the hard work of engaging with and understanding the most challenging art is easily avoided in the internet/TV age. Case in point: this long dialogue. Over the course of 9 parts, viewership begins at 37,000 and drops steadily over the following 8 installments down to 6,700. Tough to hang on for the full 90 minutes, it seems. Meanwhile, a 2-minute clip cut from the interview -- titled "DFW on Drugs and Entertainment" -- has drawn 47,000 views.

Oh my goodness- the ending. I love him so much. And he's sweating just like David Cusk in The Pale King.

I wish I'd met him. I wish I'd had the opportunity to convince him that critical observation of life was a worthwhile pursuit, if not for yourself then for others. Being the catalyst of change is worth living for, even if you don’t personally benefit from it. XXX

Has anyone's voice and words ever exuded more intelligence than this gentle man?
Rest in peace, David.

@DrStephenKrune Are you okay? I'm concerned for you, and very curious how that can be your natural response to this interview, or any human being's life in general. Hope things start going better for you Dr.
