You don't know he got caught and it was controversial but... you responded like that. Lol bro. =^)

Recipe man had some decent recipes and baked up some based stuff but he never came off natural.

Any advice for being real without hemming and hawing and talking about how fake you actually are but you are genuinely trying to communicate?

And why was he allowed to stuff references to all the meme american high school books into infinite jest? No one called him out on that goofball shit?

And but so a screaming comes across the porch, from the stairhead, Tommy bearing a bowl of lather on which a pinecone and a toy rocket lay crossed—he sits on the steps surrounded by heads and bodies of characters never to be created, Wallace having quit and thrown himself upon his belt, ha-ha o my, Tommy thinx, don't throw rocks at the thrown, ha-ha.

ij is part of the trilogy as a joke, it doesn't compare to the other two in depth

it's a fun read but more like junk food than high art ... though ol walrus did get some things right about entertainment and snapchat filters, so props for that

but for the most part his stuff is picrel cookie recipe (doesn't make it bad, but it doesn't have the true touch of the batshit that joyce and pynchawn squirt everywhere)

If you have impulse control issues you should probably stay away from it, you can become incredibly tolerant in a short period of time. But if you don't, I wouldn't worry about it.

There's IJ hate because IJ is a /lit/ joke.

David Faggot Walrus lifted all the halfway house characters' stories from people he lived with in a halfway house—without telling them. And lifted the whole Eschaton section from End Zone—and apologized for it. The best writing is all in the first ten pages.

Notice how all the symbols in the book feel hollow? According to Mary Karr (google 'lit'—it's her autobiography) whose name Career Move actually tattooed on himself and then later amended with a fucking footnote (seriously)—according to her, Walrus said all the symbols are shoved in there because 'they're cool'.

In A Supposedly Fun Thing, he misuses 'vomitorium'.

In Infinite Jest, he misuses 'defenestration'.

Also, I'm 90% sure he's only pretending to have been deeply influenced by Wittgenstein w/r/t Broom.

What gives.
