It's just from 1 interview where he made a lot of silly faces for some reason

Also people tend to assume that literary maximalism automatically means literary merit

Not even kidding, I'm largely the one responsible for it
I made a thread where I took a screen cap of DFW with a very scrunched up face and in general a pained expression looking down with the text "he doesn't read footnotes". It got more than 300 replies and was up for 13 days.

It was in 2014 I think, DFW was a meme before that but the specific screen capping of that interview started largely with my post

He was a seriously hyped author that had killed himself less than two years before this board was made. On top of that Franzen kept bitching about his dead friend and how he screwed groupies and had a shit personality, and Bloom said he had no discernible talent just after he died.
