Anybody know where I can read "Suicide As A Sort of Present"

No.

Sorry.

That isn't actually a picture of wallace is it? That fucking pose is hilarious.

Maybe if you've actually read DFW you'd realize he describes that pose many times in his works.

That's the pose me makes before slaying fresh audience pussy

My bandana had filled up with sweat and grown too heavy, so I had to squat like a slav [1] - and there's something incredibly sad and banal about that.

[1] From Middle English sclave, a borrowing from Medieval Latin Sclavus, from Byzantine Greek Σkλάβος (Sklábos), from earlier Σkλαβῆνος (Sklabênos), plural Σkλαβῆνοι (Sklabênoi), from Proto-Slavic *slověnji, *slověne (“those who speak meaningfully”), singular *slověninъ. Compare Old Church Slavonic cлoвѣни, cлoвѣнє (slověni, slověne, “Thessalonian Slavs”), Old East Slavic cлoвѣнe (slověne, “Slavs near Novgorod”).

do u think dfw intended that photo to be comparable to a prison polaroid? he has the requisite crouched stance, boots that are not timbs but are reminiscent of timbs, and a grid pattern in the background that is not the cinder-block wall of a prison but reminiscent of it

>if I squat like a rapper maybe the kids will finally believe that I'm as authentic as they are
>all I want is to be sincere but this want alone makes me insincere
>maybe if I cower all the way down here the belt will be too short to touch the crossbeam so I won't have to kill myself today
>better not stand up
>forever a crab

dfw is basically a horrible person
