Hi Lit, fellow /mu/tant here looking for some recommendations.

Pic related. Can you guys recommend any more short stories in the same style? DFW mentions Barth's Funhouse at some point, is that any good?

Thanks and have a great day!

>Several of the stories also mock or criticize what Wallace saw as bad trends in the literary scene, including the cynical, amoral realism of 1980 "Brat Pack" writers such as Bret Easton Ellis, as well as postmodern literary criticism and metafiction. A novella, "Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way", draws heavily on John Barth's metafictional short story "Lost in the Funhouse".

So THAT'S why you all hate DFW
