>In the early 1990s Wallace became obsessed with the writer Mary Karr. He considered killing her husband,[21] threw a coffee table at her and tried to push her out of a moving car.[22][21] Karr has complained that Wallace's biographer D. T. Max underreported Wallace's abuse of her. Of Max's account of their relationship, she tweeted, "that's about 2% of what happened. tried to buy a gun. kicked me. climbed up the side of my house at night. followed my son age 5 home from school. had to change my number twice, and he still got it. months and months it went on."[23]

>Wallace was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped him sign to Back Bay Books, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Nico, I'm Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He had a definite Anglo American streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior."[27] According to Fields, in the early 1990s, David attacked a mixed-race woman at the Chelsea, MA AA meeting with a smashed wine glass, saying "I hate black people".[27]

>During a class period in Illinois, students rioted after Wallace recited the German national anthem "Deutschlandlied", including the first verse omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations.

You failed to replace his name everywhere. That said, Nico is a very /lit/ musical artist.

What a cutie, I can see why he would compulsively stalk her to the point of violent jilted outbursts.

You mean a guy who wrote long, trinkety 90s kitsch as if it were intellectual insight was an autistic OCD narcissist? He's somewhere between the Les Claypool and Spin Doctors or literature. Truly /lit/s guy

He just seems like a kind of psychopathic hipster. I'd probably have to restrain myself from buying a gun and shooting him on sight if shit like this were happening to me from an edgelord cunt like him.

>"You know friends, with great power comes great responsibility. Rudyard Kipling called it "White Man's Burden." Myself I just call it as I see it: the responsibility of the master to discipline the servant."
>David looks directly at the audience.
>"The niggers, the spics, the kikes, the chinks...on The Day of the Rope they shall all swing from the elm tree. We will have all niggers dead or in chains in the next ten years, and if I'm wrong may I hang myself from the rafters of my home this very night. God bless the American Nazi Party."
