The Wallace is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a pseduointellectual, poser, pompous, showy, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But accuse him of pontificating and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: 'I've been found out.'"

Can you please not be anti-semetic here? A lot of /lit/ browsers are jewish or have jewish heritage. I know you're trying to make a funny post, but you've done so by editing a famous anti-semetic quote, literally from a person who was in the top of the nazi-leadership. Not cool

He looks so fucking hurt when the guy says it. And he never quite seems to recover the spunk he had before. I bet the cameraguy fucked the interviewer german woman afterwards and they had pillowtalk about how autistic he was. They probably laughed while smoking cigarettes and said "aahhhhh, pontificating". The sad thing is she probably wouldn't even have been interested in the cameraguy if he didn't completely emasculate DFW on film like that

I actually had DFW as a professor at University of Illinois in the 90s. One time a few students were talking about how tennis was kind of a gay sport, DFW overheard this and it was the most bizarre reaction I've ever seen. He got everyone's attention by dragging his teeth across the chalkboard, not even his nails, his fucking teeth. Then he muttered something about John Updike. When one of us said "what" he just flat out announced he was failing the entire class and to try again next year before storming out of the classroom. On the way out some camera guy riding a unicycle threw a pie in his face and then DFW slipped on a banana peel while trying to recover from that. All I can say is I'm not surprised such a troubled person ended his life in such a tragic way.

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.

He was a sophist and a sap, but he was self-aware and prolific so he wasn't all bad.
