Charlie Rose interviewed the late David Foster Wallace, a contemporary American author, on March 27, 1997.
DFW: Feminists are all saying this, though—feminists are saying white males have—"Okay, I'm going to sit down and write this enormous book and impose my phallus on the consciousness of the world."
CR: And you say?
DFW: If that was going on it was going on at a level of awareness I do NOT want to have access to.

He throws in so many asides. He practically talks with footnotes!
-
@Kolomow He's using it figuratively not literally. See the OED.
-
It's mind-boggling to me that DFW, with all his education and hyper-intellect, uses "schizophrenic" the wrong way. It's got nothing to do with "multiple personalities", even if the literal translation of the word suggests that.
-
Anyone else feel like Rose is just waiting for the end of the question so he can ask his next?
Perfect example: DFW: "Does that sound anything like an answer?" (after the talk about post-modernist writers) and Rose just brushes it off, saying it's fine and moves on to the question about Cezanne.
Wish this could've been a conversation instead of a rapid-fire interview. Too bad.

Did David cut one at 1:50?

The bandwidth between these two is off the charts. The mind of DFW is like a scalpel cutting through modern life; the mind of Charlie Rose is like a scalpel cutting DFW open to reveal what is inside him (and sometimes it's clear on David's face that Charlie isn't using any anesthetic). Truly a meeting of incredible minds.
