Is there anything missing? I’m planning on reading these in order
I know technically I could split up the essay and short story collections and find out when they were individually published and read them all in order, but that doesn’t seem necessary

There is something missing kek but I wont tell because you already have a nice list.

>> No.21519104

Just read what you fucking want, do you think we are going to compile a reading list for you? Actually, someone probably will, God help us all

I’m just trying to read David Foster Wallace’s whole bibliography. If I miss some tiny nothing he published once in one magazine somewhere, I don’t really care. I just hope I’m not missing any major works

Daily reminder that TPK is unfinished work. Let me interject for a moment and say that TPK must be finished, and if /lit/ would surmount it together, that would be the peak of it's collective endeavor.

Why was he so mad at DFW? If you watch his interviews clearly the guy is just an awkward, harmless autist. Is it because Bloom was a phony and felt threatened by cliches?

Something to Do With Paying Attention is a side story of TPK that has been made into it's own novella kinda thing

Agreed. His opinions on rap are much better than expected. Anyone who understands rap peaked with Schoolly D is alright by me.

So is it material that's already in The Pale King or was it excized?

I think it's in TPK already, not 100% sure tho

Because DFW wrote a cheeky sentence about him in the notes of IJ. He’s butthurt.

annotated moby dick was the best piece to come out of lit. better than hypersphere and tundra.
