Thinking With David Foster Wallace
Wallace, author of ‘Infinite Jest’ and ‘Consider the lobster,’ died last week at 46
The same friend who introduced me to David Foster Wallace once mused that one way to appreciate an artistic work was to realize all the ways it could have been stupid but managed not to be. To my mind, DFW is an important example of how a writer, and specifically a writer from our own academic and cultural milieu, can avoid the particular pitfalls that we here are likely to face when we try to think and write and not be stupid.
