The obviois thing about him is that he's so full of himself. So much, in fact, that it makes his interviews interesting if only in a perverse and comical way. You just wait in expectation to see what kind of crazy shit about himself he can come up with next

The scrolling words of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace in a never-ending loop.

That's a part of the book I never understood. What's so fatally compelling about a drunk guy shouting "David Foster Wallace!" from a car window?

Hey /lit/, I want you to rate my story. I've only written 1,000 words so far, and I'd appreciate it if someone could give me any criticism. Literally any. If it's good, so-so, plain shit or even give up and kill myself-worthy then feel free to give your honest opinion. Don't hold back.

Fine for consuming pleb shit for the sake of being able to talk to normies about books, but if it's a book that you actually at all care about, you should actually read it.

What are some nice biographies that are easy to find epubs for/cheap for kindle (I like Nathan Miller's Theodore Roosevelt but can't find an epub for it and it isn't in the kindle store)?
I'm currently enjoying John Adams by David McCullough

>Why do we love this forlorn land at the edge of everywhere?
Sitting before my little fire, I know, when the wind blows outside, moaning in the fieldstone chimney I caused to be built for ornament, shrieking in the gutters and the ironwork and the eaves and trim and trellises of the house, that this planet of America, turning round upon itself, stands only at the outside, only at the periphery, only at the edges, of an infinite galaxy, dizzily circling. And that the stars that seem to ride our winds cause them. Sometimes I think to see huge faces bending between those stars to look through my two windows, faces golden and tenuous, touched with pity and wonder; and then I rise from my chair and limp to the flimsy door, and there is nothing; and then I take up the cruiser ax (Buntings Best, 2 lb. head, Hickory Handle) that stands beside the door and go out, and the wind sings and the trees lash themselves like flagellants and the stars show themselves between bars of racing cloud, but the sky between them is empty and blank.

What story is that from?
>>
>>7989242
His novel Peace. It's about an old man reflecting on his life in the haunted midwest. It's very good and rather spooky in some ways. As with Wolfe's other work, it has many many layers.

Is his prose this good in BotNS?

I'm currently in the third one and it's been so hard for me to finish it. Does it get better? For those who have read them all which one is the best?

The one you're reading is 2nd best. Dance with Dragons is my favorite. Swords is great too though.

Feast for Crows. The passage Septon Maribald or whatever says on war is the best writing he did in that series.

/Lit/ I'll be completely honest, I don't browse this board very much.
Recently, I finished my first novel ever, but I don't know where to go from here. Should I self publish? Or try and get it sent to a publisher?
Oh, and words of wisdom in publishing would be nice too.

Definitely try to find a publisher, self publishing sinks good things in a sea of online swill.
