He didn't even love tennis that much, he was just kind of good at it as a youth and you take IJ as "tennis book" + DFW having played tennis IRL and conclude your dumbass conclusion

>>9201026

I'm afraid I'll never love anything at all

>implying he's presently capable of love

>you will never love anyone like he loves Nathaniel Hawthorne.

>>9200983
lol what was the highest he ever played?

like III division college? yeah what a champion of the game

>>9201266
I never understood his respect and admiration for Hawthorne. I read The Scarlet Letter and found the prose to be excessive and superfluous, nothing even close to the genius of Melville.

>>9200983
He was a really smart male model.
That's why Will Ferrell had to kill him.

>>9201305
Read Hawthorne's Tales.

>>9201268
He said he loved it. What the fuck are you on about

>>9201305
I dunno. I havent read him yet, but apparently he's the brother in law of one of my great great uncles.

>>9201247
Snap out of it kid.

>>9201305
Hawthorne was probably convenient to have as a correspondent, just for the publicity friction. not that he praised moby dick publicly to the extent he truly felt.

It's all good. I was just softly trolling those that have a hardon for dfw
