To cover the swastika on his forehead

>>12758994
He grabbed it from the Boss before she threw him off the bridge. It signifies his transcendence to becoming the ultimate soldier himself.

>>12758994
a lot of loyalty for a styled bun.

>>12758994
to hide his receding hairline

>>12759040

>>12758994
hyperhidrosis caused by anxiety, which in turn was caued by narcissism

he is welcoming you to the water

>>12758994

To connect with a younger audience, if you know what I mean.

gay leftist faggot culture without actually being a gay leftist faggot

it was standard in the 90s/early 00s to dress like a gay leftist faggot

ashamed of male pattern baldness

Tell me about DFW. Why does he wear the bandana?

>>12759117
Because his forehead sweats a lot. There's also the Andre Agassi/tennis influence.

>>12758994
if i take off the bandana, will he die?

It’s so he can crash this unhealthy system of ironic coping with no survivors

>>12759365
It would be extremely honest.

>>12759482
how do i avoid ironic coping? how does dfw want to solve this problem

>>12759482
Was killing himself part of his plan?

Perhaps he’s wondering why you would interview a man and then call him pontificating

>>12759001
underrated

anon... please buy my book... infinite turtles

>>12759491
Of course!

>>12759490
Put simply, just allow yourself to be honest and genuine. Face the world as it is, and don't let your mask shelter you from the outer world. Embrace the outside

>>12759516
can i still tell jokes?

>>12759526
Of course, just don't be a snide asshole that subverts expectation.

>>12759475

Top-notch I say

quality post

I took a creative nonfiction course with him at Ponoma back in '94. We weren't allowed to show anyone our essays outside of the class for some reason. He seemed naturally intelligent, didnt need to look at any notes or textbooks or prepare for any lectures, he just knew his stuff and was super casual.

I saw him talking to a girl on campus one day. He uncharacteristically wore a Fila sweatsuit, the kind that looks like it's made from the same material as parachutes, and trainer sneakers with a matching bandana. That was his pussy hunt outfit apparently. Several times a week, same outfit, I'd see him hitting on women in it. I once saw him wearing it while carrying an identical outfit from the dry cleaners, he had like 4 sets of same Fila sweatsuit.

I asked him about it in class and he said we aren't allowed to discuss anything unrelated to class while inside class, the same way we can't show anyone outside of class our essays. A student called out "but Dostoevsky isn't in this class and last week you talked about replicating his black tea obsession to test its affects on your own writing". Wallace stared blankly at the student with dead eyes for 30 seconds in dead silence then said "you just got knocked down a full letter grade. Any other smart asses? Didn't think so." and pushed up his glasses with his index finger.

I remember telling myself this guy will either be super successful or kill himself.

>>12759475
this is why I still come to this fucking board

IF I TOOK OFF THE IRONY WOULD YOU DIE

It was be infinitely entertaining

>>12761259
a jest

I dropped in from the 4chan homepage and after reading through this thread I have to say I hope none of you guys are aspiring writers. I don't frequent /lit/ but the attempts at humour on display here were painful to read through, if this is where the board has been reduced to I don't think I'll be making any effort to return.

Yikes.

reddit awaits, pseud. don't let the door hit your ass on the way out

>>12761305
Yes, this board has been on a downward slope in quality since 2012 and hit rock bottom in 2016 and it hasn't gotten any better since. No reason to come here at all. Go to warosu and check out threads from 2011 even, if they still exist. This used to be a board that people interested in literature would have to seek out, like undergrad English majors, now it's mostly just normie tourists, dumb hick phone posters, pol turds, and underage kids obsessed with dumb memes who don't even read. People telling others to go to reddit don't realize this website is just the other side of the same coin. A completely mainstream, watered down version of what it used to be, a place that popularized being a contrarian. I wish there was a different website now that could fill this roll, maybe a website that would require tor or something, I dunno, something that dumb normies can't get to so easily.

He wanted to buy banana once but salesman heard "bandana" and sold him bandana. Since David was so socially anxious he didn't corrected the guy and he end up wearing bandana.
