How did the Wardine chapter make the cut?
Because it's hilarious
If you didn't feel like shit when Wardine done be cry you aren't human.

This

Because if you don't think Wardine is a believable character, you've never seen an uneducated hood rat.
Having lived around them, DFW did not do them an injustice.
And I think it's hinted at that Wardine is "slow" anyway.
>>7571977
The same reason anything in that book made the cut. They wanted a 900 page book.
>>7571977
Cause the editor is afraid of Roy Tony
>>7572024
Wardine is not be the narrator of that part dood
she just be cry
>>7571977
Why was DFW so bad at writing in "ebonics"? Not even the most retarded niggers talk like that.
>>7572036
It was actually edited quite severely. Apparently some really good passages got cut.

He was having a laff

kek
also just btw I've lived in the poor black south and that chapter was pretty good actually.
>>7572108
this. This shows just how white DFW was. It's like he'd never been around a poor black person
I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm channeling my inner SJW, but that chapter was appalling. A disgrace. I can't imagine there are actually black people who speak like that, even though that was clearly what Wallace was hinting at. Although, I admit, I did laugh at the name Wardine. He might as well have called her LaShannara.

Pro-tip: there ARE people that talk like that.

>I can't imagine there are actually black people who speak like that
And I can't imagine there are people who split their dicks.
>even though that was clearly what Wallace was hinting at
People been saying it could just be a retard. Was it socially acceptable to make fun of retards in the nineties?
>>7572297
>Was it socially acceptable
Does being "socially acceptable" even matter in literature?
>>7572350
Obviously. We read a book.

No buy people on /lit/ pretend it does so they can feel persecuted
