>>24104999>claims to be sick of hearing about author>makes another thread to complain about said authormany such cases
>>24104999Only July 21, 2007 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published. That he killed himself a year and two months later is not a coincidence. Imagine reading that as him and realizing you just couldn't compete with a superior writer.
>>24104999He just couldn't handle that a black guy was about to be president
>>24105825The mighty protochud
>>24104999>named after DFWIs this true?
>>24105831I looked it up and it is true. John Krasinski and a writer on the show were big fans of DFW. I knew Krasinski was a fan because he directed that awful Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
>>24105831>>24105862The writer wasn't just a fan, he also owns the film rights to Infinite Jest. He showed up as Dwight's autistic brother that runs around spastically without talking in a couple episodes.
>>24105862Neat
>>24106193When movie then?
No one has ever explained his do0-rag. what is up with that fr.
>>24106193Dwight and Mose Beet Farm Adventures is the only part of that show which is still any good
>>24104999>a short story where a guy kills himself after a random episode of Cheers sends him over the edgeI should read that.also checked
>>24104999he kind of looks like Jason seagull
>>24107941He wanted to look gangsta.
>>24107607>>24106193He doesn't actually have the rights anymore fyi.
>>24108023it wasn't cheers it was frasier i'm pretty sure.but i guess that's a spin-off, so...
>>24108445fraiser fills like the bob newhart show (but without suzanne pleshette)
Was Infinite Jest the last true Great American Novel?
>>24108516probably not.in my opinion a novel has to be /perfect/ to earn that title, and while i enjoy this book a lot, probably more than some of the books i would qualify as perfect, this book does have a lot of flaws.
>>24108516Too early to say
>>24104999So who the fuck is Wallace, is he from Buckingham Palace?
>>24108602what?
>>24108516Blood MeridianBut it's probably runner up
>>24108516It's certainly American.
>>24107941No one knows
>>24108620that's a wordplay on bomfunk mc's freestyler
WHY DOES HE WEAR THAT ON HIS HEAD
People don't realize the bandana is one of the most functional pieces of clothing there is
>>24105236As Harold Bloom said,>"No."
>>24104999>David Faggot Wallace, The Homosexual Sucker of Cocks, Cumguzzler, Anal Fuck Receptacle
>>24108516It would have to be great to do that and it isn’t.
>>24110417what?
>>24107941one of his first books was about rap
>>24111073That's probally worth a gazillion dollars now.
>>24111050zoom zoom
>>24104999why did you post a portray of DFW instead of DFW?DFW writes some good stuff I don't get the obsession with hating on him. Why can't he be just be another author?
>>24110887Bloom, the absolute useful idiot. He's a dumb nigger, but let's act like he isn't because he said some scathing thing about DFW. He's never brought up elsewhere, because he's a little bitch and could not draw in pussy like Dave. That's really all there is to that. Wallace left rooms of sweet schoolgirls literally dripping, and if you want to claim Bloom's done the same then you're not only a faggot, you're a disingenuous faggot. Game recognizes game.
>>24104999Please fall neck first on a sharp machete
i had to read the ebonics page in infinite jest twice. i dont speak jive
>>24111812Okay but I need you to show me how to do it first. I'll be right behind you.
>>24111812This seems a little extreme. I suggest you read David Foster Wallace to gain perpective.
>>24105831wait the Dallas airport was named after David Foster Wallace?!
>>24113846idk if youre joking, because its not funny at all, but DFW stands for Dallas Fort Worth.
>>24113852sorry anon I thought it was funny
>My whole life I’ve been a fraud. I’m not exaggerating. Pretty much allI’ve ever done all the time is try to create a certain impression of me inother people. Mostly to be liked or admired.not all of us have this problem
Half this guys reputation is just because he died young.
>>24113638I did, years ago. He was on set of a movie, I think, and wrote an article that was published in some movie magazine, and it was the most pretentious thing I've ever read. Now please stop making daily threads about himNot only is it schizo behavior, but it seems very insecure of you
>Ulysses thread up>DFW/Infinite Jest thread up>Pynchon thread talking about Gravity's Rainbow just the other day/lit/ is healing.
>>24114933kys
>>24104999>I HATE TV!!Robert Putnam said the same thing but louder
David Foster Wallace was as sexual deviant so women will eternally praise him unconditionally.
>>24114933>>24114988>double double checked
>>24114887>I half remember a random article This subjective memory represents the entirety of the author's work accurately.
>>24115930what have you read
>>24114933>>24115456I don’t get why Ulysses is included in that trio, Joyce isn’t even American.Swap it out for Recognitions, Blood Meridian, or Underworld. Those would fit much better.
>>24104999Speaking of Lynchian,David Lynch passed away today >>>/tv/207933210
>>24107941>>24110700it was actually a huge trend with white gen x dudes from the older half of gen x. the kids who played soccer, who weren't into (american) football or heavy metal or punk. the demographic that wanted to signify they were something other than the mainstream, but not subcultural weirdos, either.
>>24114933>frogposters posting a step in the opposite direction
>>24115994The Meme Trilogy is not predicated onbeing all-American.If anything Infinite Jest is the book that needs to be dropped. It's an open question whether DFW or anything he wrote deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Pynchon, let alone Joyce.
>>24116037Where the fuck are you getting this from, because it has nothing to do with reality.
>>24116079It's part of the trilogy because it's a meme.
>>24108024>Seagull>not Livingston Seagull
>>24116052Silence
>>24117267He's right. Pepe images don't belong on a board with thinkers.
>>24117278>HeI don't necessarily think they're man enough for that pronoun.
