OMG. !!! What Eric said about IJ. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Scoles To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 11:19 AM Subject: Sad Weekend News: David Foster Wallace RIP
He apparently hung himself on Friday. LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-wallace14-2008sep14,0,246155.story Long-ish thread over at Metafilter, with many links (to Charlie Rose interviews among other things), quotes and personal anecdotes: http://www.metafilter.com/74869/RIP-DFW I've probably had Infinite Jest recommended to me more times than any other single book. I suppose it's about time I actually read it. The most amazing thing about him to me was how many people seemed feel such a need to so fiercely denounce him as a literary fraud. Watching interviews with him, he seemed to me to be the very opposite. -- eric scoles ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R-SPEC: The Rochester Speculative Literature Association" group.
