/lit/ - Literature

Post your top three American writers of all time. I'll start:
1. Edgar Allan Poe
2. Flannery O'Connor
2. DFW

Why’d he hang himself from hid patio with his hands bound to ensure he couldn’t turn back?

What do you think of his personal library?

Is §22 the greatest 100 pages written in noughties? If no, what's better?

Recommend me books about DFW and his work. Not just biographical stuff, I want studies of his work.

"I wonder if my purpose in life is to put my penis in as many vaginas as possible." -David Memester Wallace (paraphrased)

Are you a teenager? You seem to think pointing out idiosyncratic points is the zenith of refuting a mans life.

Read some Nietzsche faggot. Whether you like it or not Wallace showed a way to escape from jaded cynicism; and he inspired many of his peers and many of the next gen of writers, while still remaining a controversial figure.

He has achieved the absolute dream of any writer, and his work still stands up and remains fresh.

You can jerk off over your psychoanalytical points trying to get at his supposed motivation all you like. Go on, its about as thrilling as reading a feminist critique. Really, I can't tell what you are going to say next its thrilling.

You know I heard he liked to fuck his hot fans too.

You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you.

The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture.

>"David told me he fell in love with the way I fall asleep, slowly at first, then all at once." a groupie whore told DFW biographer DT Max.

What are the best romantic author quotes /lit/? I wanna get in this skank's pants this weekend and I need to learn to talk pretty.

This film feels like it was made as an apology or for closure for all the audience pussy DFW slew who thought he was gonna call them back before he killed himself. I will not be in attendance.

What's the best introduction to this guy's work?
