WHAT IF OP is actually a fucking faggot?

>The Broom of the System and Infinite Jest have "unfinished" endings (the former ends mid-sentence and IJ ends before Hal and co. journey into the Concavity to dig up JOI)
>the chapter in TPK mentioning the play that begins only when the entire audience leaves
>the tedium of reading an unfocused and "unfinished" novel that never goes anywhere relates to TPK's theme of boredom and overcoming it

>>9275085
Duh dude.
Obviously it's "finished".
thats part of what happens when you kill yourself.

the whole "unfinished" part is just there to evoke sadness and remind you of the context, all of which David was definitely aware.

>>9275085
Read it. A significant portion is not polished and makes no sense

What if DFW killed himself so he would become an eternal tragic author?

>the chapter in TPK mentioning the play that begins only when the entire audience leaves
what does this have to do with The Pale King being intentionally unfinished?

tell me which parts made no sense and i will explain it.
at some point David realized a "truth", a problem in all our human relations, as he worked out the potential future of the novel and that became the finished product, it's truth and a valid reason to leave it as it was. So it's finished.
He doesn't provide a resolution or an answer because he didn't have one, but he did have a concern

>>9275853
the lack of resolution was intentional. That play is a metaphor for the book itself, a boring, sadly-funny, sometimes tragically mundane portrayal of modern life's reality

Shakespeare wasn't one man but really four or five playwrights

>>9276861
Close. William Shakespeare was a real person and was a member of the cabal. After his death they decided to use his name to promote their own works, understanding that each of them alone would never make a mark.

>>9275085
I believe that the size of trade paperbacks is based on Lester Delray's megalomaniacal insistence that Delray books be as long as his erect penis(7.8 inches, iirc) and this size was only accidentally adopted as the industry standard.

Shakespeare was a black girl.

>>9277316
a black lesbian
