can someone explain the whole french people America thing from this book. I didn't get it

youre not a frog-canadian if you use the word bouquin

As with most things DFW depicted, he had no working knowledge nor insight into it.

Don't take it seriously. Nobody else does.

you know I've always wondered about this and whether he actually gets or loses points for that.

If you're really «French Canadian», why don't you know how to use guillemets correctly?

Kind of wonderstruck at how OP has actually proven Wallace's point. Impressive really.

in case you can't tell almost everything in the book is over the top. I am a Canadien too and I do not share the same views as you OP

Seriously though. His attempts to inject scientific drug stuff in his book was cringy. I feel reading dfw is like reading a newspaper. You can go along with anything it says unless it's something you actually know about, then you think "this journalist has no fucking clue". T then you go on nodding to the rest of the paper

Funny how Quebecois manage to be even more irrelevant than Canadians and French people combined.

when are we going to remove this from the meme trilogy?

It's an insult to Gravity's Rainbow and Ulysses, I vote we replace it with Darconville's Cat.

This (I'm from Ontario, i.e. legitimate Canada) - OP is essentially reinforcing some kind of French Canadian exceptionalism.

All in all, IJ is a fine book. OP is basically just an idiot with nothing to say.

Fuck frogs, desu
