Anon David Foster Wallace is a celebrated author who published numerous books and essays so I really don't understand how you can blithely dismiss him like that.

If he was really so forgettable, how come he hasn't been forgotten?

if david foster wallace killed himself, why shouldn't i?

When it comes to writings, how do I learn new words and how to use them? I usually read with a dictionary by the side and sometimes I even write some of the new words in my notebook. But during my writing process I feel like I forget them all instantaneously. How do you guys deal with this? Writing thread, I suppose.

/pol/ is nothing but wingnut theorists who see the white race as the only thing that matters. They get triggered by interracial commercials for gods sake. If being a "commie jew intellectual" is such a bad thing, I assure you the opposite is worse. As much as they hate identity politics they play themselves right into it.

>I enjoy Russell Brand, loser. What? Stop focusing on how I enjoy Russell Brand. I called you a loser! Stop it! Russell Brand is perfectly fine!

to include the name you want the work to get credited for so nobodies work gets stolen! (pen names are fine)

You're pretty much asking to be shit-on for making a thread like this. But yeah, I love it too. Found a signed copy recently for absurdly cheap (yard sale, they didn't realize it was signed).

Evening, friendos. Lately I've been toying with the idea of scouring the net and retrieving every DFW non-fiction essay of note, editing the typeface to make it slightly more presentable, compile each one into individual pdf files, and then making a mediafire file for the collected folder and distribute it on /lit/. I think this is very doable, the only problem is I have no idea where to obtain a cohesive list of everything DFW ever wrote/published. The below links seems like a good place to start but I'm unsure as to which direction to go proceed in after that. Any help would be appreciated.

On another note, DFW's non-fiction is a million times better than anything else he wrote, why don't you guys talk about it more?
