I hate his fucking guts. I hate all rich bastards like DFW. Two loaded professor parents. Gave him everything in life. Never had to worry about rent, money, starving. Opened doors to publishing and everything. What's he do? Kills himself. Good riddance.

This is such a weird and silly critique, I don't understand why it crops up here so often. Intellectuals and artists naturally come from that type of background anyway.

A realistic critique of Wallace would concern why so many jews are in control of his image, from his jewed up literary trust overseers to the rolling stone jew who followed him around, whose story was made into a movie directed by a jew who cast a jew to play Wallace, along with the creepy jew who wrote a crappy biography about him, DT Max.

It's not that they're /bad/, he just had a sort of corny sense of humor. It was okay when he mixed it with druggy-stuff, but in general it often felt tacked on, pandering, and unrealistic imo.

to be honest, that was part of Dave's sincerity. He was kind of upfront about being a do-gooder loser/scumbag/brat/hypocrite. you knew what you were getting, and so in that way he was always very divisive, which definitely comes across in his works and to his fans/detractors.

I mean, David, for as much as he complained, and how badly nerds want to relate to him, he really was a exceptionally gifted and lucky, achieving at just 24 years old what most of us could only dream of doing. Easy to chalk it up to his upbringing, but you can't really blame him because your parents sucked now can you?

I don't think anyone who understands jewish behavior and has read DT Max's biography could fully buy into that. This is a classic build em up and knock em down routine. Wallace put himself out there, that's for sure, but most of this divisiveness is posthumous and being orchestrated by aliens who do not share our moral sense for artists and cultural figures generally.

Most of the bad vibes you get from D.T. Max really just come from the reality of the fact of his many affairs with students etc. This whole revisionist history of him being an ultra despicable horndog mostly has to do with scapegoating/explaining his predatory actions, as they probably played a large role in his decision to kill himself and it would be wrong to deny them, but at the same time should be acknowledged for those who knew.

- dfw was poor when he wrote ij, he wrote it in a cheap tiny apt in syracuse ny, where he had to move stuff off the bed when he wanted to sleep; he took an advance for the book, even though he didn't like doing that, because he needed money

- dfw's parents didn't have publishing connections, he got published because he wrote a young literary agent a letter and sent her an excerpt of his college thesis novel, she took him on, and represented him; his parents were not connected

got paid 150,000 + royalties for his first book at 24, parents are wealthy. Publishes second book at 29.

He actually got the publisher's attention from a recommendation for his school where his family had a legacy.

I want to believe that being highly educated and also be so self aware about you and everything you know leads to destruction, I think he really needed to embrace nihilism (wich I believe he rejected) and his whole act about him being sincere and unpretentious would have worked out as therapy for living for sure, it was that or either keep living searching for stronger meds till you no longer can bear the pain and kill yourself, he just choose the wrong path imo

D.T. Max is just a regular jew.
Sticking to the facts, but filtering a little moralization in there.
I don't think David would mind.
Given the curious mystery of his death, there being no public note, only speculation, it's natural that his parents would be hesitant to broach any topic of their son, knowing where the conversation might lead.

suspension? don't recall wallace being suspended from anything. he dropped out of amherst for a semester because his depression started to manifest.

>many of the relationships at this time that played a role in his future

what relationships? what writing professor? ive read every biographical detail ever written about dfw, i don't recall this

the story of dfw being published is he wrote a letter to bonnie nadell pointing out the recent success of writers his age and sending her an excerpt of his work. i don't even recall him taking a writing class at amherst. he studied writing at arizona, but his professors didn't like him and probably wouldn't have written him a recommendation.

also, i thought it was his parents with these alleged publishing connections that supposedly got him the book deal, now wallace cultivated the relationships himself? you're changing your story

I assume[1] that you want something like this, OP[2], with the footnotes[3], but in DFW's[4] style[5]. Sorry your thread's been derailed[6] into about how Jews are ruining DFW's[4] legacy[7] but in post-2016[8] 4chan, every board is /pol/[9] and /r9k/[10].

1. Which as we all know, makes an ass of you and me*
*A common adage used to discourage jumping to conclusions. 'assume' can be decomposed into 'ass', 'u' and 'me'.
2. Original poster, referring to the person who begins a thread on 4chan*
*Popular imageboard
3. Reference to the large amount of 'footnotes' in David Foster Wallace's 1996 novel Infinite Jest, however this is actually a misnomer, as they are at the end of the book rather than the bottom of the page and are therefore endnotes. However, say footnotes on /lit/* and everyone knows which book you're talking about**
*literature board
**Infinite Jest
4. David Foster Wallace
5. A style regularly compared to postmodernist author Thomas Pynchon
6. Meaning to have its topic changed significantly from what was intended
7. Details about Wallace have surfaced in more recent years
8. Specifically, post-2016 election, in which 4chan saw large increases in popularity as it became associated with Donald Trump and the alt right.
9. The 'politically incorrect' board, the centre of the discourse that many perceive to be racist and sexist for which 4chan is known in the public consciousness
10. The ROBOT9000 board, a board in which every post can only be posted once, encouraging original discussion*. It is predominantly based on discussion of failure with women, often blamed on 'Chads'** and 'normalfags'***, although it must be noted that many 'normalfags' are regular users of the board****
*Although in practice people just add 'original' or 'oregano'+ to the end of their posts to force originality
+Herb chosen due to its similar spelling to 'original', which is what they are trying to make their post
**Sexually desirable and successful men, named after the stereotypical name for a high school jock. A Brad is similar but not identical
***Referring to normal people using the common suffix used on 4chan '-fag', eg. 'newfag', 'oldfag', 'samefag', 'tripfag' although it must be noted that this suffix is not inherently insulting, as seen in 'drawfag', a term of endearment and respect. 'Normie' is a similar term but is associated with Reddit+, so 'normalfag' is preferred
+4chan has historically disliked Reddit, to the point where it is an adjective used as an insult, e.g. 'Slaughterhouse-Five is too Reddit for me', however like all insults on 4chan which originally have a concrete meaning^ it has become meaningless
^Other examples include soi# and normalfag
#Referring to the bean alleged to reduce testosterone in males, intentionally misspelt to evade the word filter, which would change it to onions, which was put into place as a result of overuse of the word in 2018
****/r9k/ users are aware of this and regularly lament it
