RE: David Foster Wallace and the foolishness of reality - Part 2 - Infinite Jest

in #literature8 years ago

Another great post! I'll be awaiting Part 3.... Have you read William T. Vollmann by any chance? Wallace spoke incredibly highly of him. I've been diving into his work lately and it's incredible.

Sort:  

thx. yes, I read Vollmann: I like his books but they seem a little too artificially "borderline".

"Borderline" as in transgressive/edgy?

his subjects are in that area, but sound artificial to me.
I like most of his books anyway.
Wallace appreciated Vollmann, but, after they met, Wallace reported "He's a psychopath." :)
