What a faggot
Have yet to read him. You should run into a meat grinder regardless for making this sorry excuse of a thread.
Nobody even talks about him anymore, and for good reason. His works are honestly embarrassing.
i love reading opinions. opinions are so cool and informative and eye-opening. one million unelaborated opinions please.
Maybe, but he was never an OP.

DFW was emblematic of the priveleged kids who are afraid of the real world so they prefer to spend their entire life in a university living one step past the life of a teenager. This is evinced by his gay little bandana and the fact that he killed himself.
I understood him and thought he was neat. Also, he looks anorexic in that pic.
They’re mocking him with his latest editions
Lol if they didn't switch of all that because of him, certainly his 'novels' then how did the 'character' scape then switch to 'modernist' supposedly trying to be 'white.' The jethro internet punk look gives it away early on. Legally I believe that we have moved on from this though.
good thread unironically
terrible thread ironically

>>25357451Lmfao
>>25357451this art style is so revolting, and I see it being used on so many modern printings of classic books. Is it because the primary audience for books is women, and women like these gay little cartoons that suggest everything is either a romance novel or about a woman finding herself through travel and eating like a pig?
>>25357451Is there a sexy redhead cheerleader in infinite jest? I might buy
Was he a plagiarist like McCarthy?
>>25357451Nice, in lieu of actually discussing IJ, we're calling DFW a faggot and sharing fake Redditslop now. Nu-/lit/ took the bait.https://www.reddit.com/r/InfiniteJest/comments/1sg3xs7/who_is_the_woman_on_this_cover/of5ulqn/
>>25357800Yes. She's described as almost otherworldly beautiful and frequently refered to as the P.G.O.A.T. (Prettiest Girl Of All Time).
He is ugly as fuck.

>>25356381I feel like before preceding further farther timber tamper on wallace on dfw that although when dfw mentions some brand name that were snarky post modernism and before preceding further farther on that and asking what were the substance and pattern and getting back that to substance that realism was the substance to substance but if the metaphor between pattern and substance held and if patterns get realism or not were unclear now here but and that brands name function to the context to the serpinski gasket as the real and the brand name were the real and also the convention to the regime that was the aesthetic regime over naming conventions and the relation and situation between naming conventions and pattern also unclear and as some concluding remarks the hang up that wallace that dfw were that notorious dichotomy from opposition that to the understood strife to phenomenology and substance where to the context that phenomenology usurped the range to substance though and but the topic to phenomenology where immediately dissolved by the pattern to pattern as substance anyway and part to the piece to that art and furthmore and but so but and so so and but so but and
>>25358001Unfortunately, that you were able to point that out, makes you a redditor. Oh, you'll say, you can tell from the file naming convention. To that I say, it takes a redditor to know that. you've trapped yourself, by pointing out the ruse, you have de-masked and confirmed our every suspicion. you fucked up, in a big way.
>>25357382TRUKE
>>25356381I believe he eventually realized it.I’ve read a couple of his lesser works. Some passages and ideas were worth of it, but mostly really average.
>>25356381Always makes me heartily laugh when I realize he basically wrote books to score as much teen pussy as possible.He was the OG performative male and killed himself precisely before the #MeToo fiasco would've raped him to death.What a lad!
>>25357802awful prose writer, OK cultural critic and essayist. he's not really worth reading anymore unless you want want to see what academics cared about in 2009if he killed himself thinking he was going to be the lit kurt cobain, he was wrong
