I heard you guys like Dave Wallace's stuff. What's your favorite of his?

>In late 2003, after being approached by Scientology recruiters, David Foster Wallace is reported to have said, "Why join a cult when I can lead my own?!"[10] Allegedly he shoved the recruiters to the ground and ran away laughing maniacally. Five months later his assistant finally located him in a small African village near Lake Victoria, leading an apocalyptic death cult. The UN report on the aftermath remains classified[11] but rumors speak of mass graves, human sacrifice, and murals of Mr. Wallace's face made out of the bones of children.[12] Beneath the village it is said that the cult of Ogamboo Metukalu ("The Paradox") had 2,000 slave laborers digging a secret underground temple complex where the cult intended to live after the apocalypse struck. Mr. Wallace's assistant says the literary genius has since put that part of his life behind him and chalks it up to poor judgement brought on by a flu.[13] If that is the case though, why does Mr. Wallace continue to make routine trips to Africa to this day? And why are cases of missing children around Lake Victoria 20 times more common than that of any other area on the continent? Mr. Wallace could not be reached for comment and his assistant refused to speak with us regarding the matter.
