Being the chief financial officer of a paper supply company how did David Wallace find time to write Infinite Jest?
Kek.

He wrote most of his novels and short stories while employed as a lobster fisherman, the head coach of a tennis academy, as an IRS agent in Illinois, and while on a cruise in the Caribbean.

I want you to talk me through the thought process, OP. You're watching The Office and you see that a character is called David Wallace. You think to yourself that that name is like David Foster Wallace, the author and /lit/ meme. Did making this connection make you laugh? I doubt it. But you decided that this was something you had to share with /lit/. Did you expect this thread to make other anons laugh? Did this anon >>8330895
actually kek, or did he just understand the reference and emotionlessly type out the word kek?

>Why are we here?
I got what I wanted.
I think the guy who plays Mose owns the film rights to IJ. He's a dfw autist

Man, DFW would be so pissed for being called a "meme".
Fuck this board and it's juvenile meme shit
>>8330918
oh wow, this is apparently true. maybe he should make an infinite jest sitcom for nbc.

Yeah, the character is named after DFW. Jim (or the actor that played him) has a hard-on for Wallace. He directed Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. And yeah, the creator/one of the writers for parks and rec owns the IJ rights. There's one episode of Parks and Rec that's full of Infinite Jest stuff. Nothing really clever, just the names of characters appearing in random places.
Decided to suck it one day.
