Reddit is discussing DFW more objectively than you ever will.

http://www.reddit.com/r/literature/comments/2yjknl/the_david_foster_wallace_reader_there_isnt_a_page/

How does that make you feel /lit/?

Looks like they really dislike that article, but it makes a lot of good points, such as

>David Foster Wallace was a towering, divine figure – the doo-rag, the sad eyes, the studied “cool older brother” vibe – the Patron Saint of the Smart Lazy.

I'm seeing nothing to disagree with in that article. DFW needed an editor badly.

He had one, Wallace just ignored them. After a while, they just stopped trying and pocketed their salary. Money for old rope really.

Yeah so? The whole hate Reddit thing is just a raging meme. If you want discussion go there, if you want dank memes come to /lit/.

Let me rephrase that with greater specificity: he needed an editor who absolutely wouldn't put up with his shit.

>> No.6252545

How do you discuss something "more objectively"?

Is there subjective discussion and objective discussion? Like, I THINK that's a discussion, but it actually is just my perception.
