Are there any authors you don't read on account of their personality? Pic related for me. He just comes across as a conceited and obnoxious reddit larp.

What did he think of anime? It seems to me that Japanese culture is the opposite of everything he hated about America: hip irony, cynicism, egocentrism, etc.

You are nothing but another LARPer, same goes for this entire board. You jackasses have ruined religion, sincerity, mysticism and destroyed any other topic vaguely related to literature

1. Take your meds
2. And keep it to yourself next time

A Chaucerian fraud of the highest order!

Low quality blender of platitudes that breaks after light use!

He wore that bandana to stave off the sweat that the blistering desert of his imagination was pushing out of him!

They say the gods love those who die young - thankfully David Foster Wallace died far too old, given the circumstances and general tenor his broomstick and snake-oil life!

Do not read this fraud!
