The Pale King

Yeah, I love The Pale King. David Wallace is much less intent on impressing you, which is nice - the writing feels more natural. Still anxiety driven and odd, but not in an occasionally purposeful convoluted manner like his early work.
Expect work like Oblivion, but more hopeful.
The chapter with Meredith Rand and Drinion is my favorite thing Wallace has ever written. Sylvanshine's major section is great, too.

No where near "finished". This was suppose to be his magnum opus but he decided to kick the can before he can hear the critisms

Great, you have me excited to read it again.

Yeah, I remember that being the most depressing part of reading it. But I thought it was universally acclaimed regardless.

TPK is a phenomonal book, especially if you've been working the same job/routine with minute changes for years.

Although it could've been better finished, the notes at the end spark my imagination enough to speculate how the rest would have went. Which is pretty unique, honestly.

actually completely agree w/ this. is the part where a guy sits in class and has major sweats/anxiety about a girl sitting near him he's too scared to look at part of the sylvanshine section? if not, that's great too
