Tell me about Wallace. Why does he wear the coats?

>thinking infinite jest won't be a classic

yeah, as if future /lit/izens are going to ignore a bizarre 1,000 page novel about sports and drugs from a hundred years ago that includes 100 pages of end notes by a madman genius who killed himself. they're gonna treat it like ulysses because it wont have the stink of the new on it anymore.

there will be a new infinite jest and david foster wallace a hundred years from now, and college intellectuals turn their noses up & say "oh, i dont much care for daniel jooster lewis, i prefer the classics, like david foster wallace: late 20th century author, i keep his photo here on the wall, inspires me when im writing" and there will be a printed photo of dfw scotch-taped on the wall, and his friend will say "oh wow such a blurry picture, you can barely see him" and the other'll say "yah, hes checkered-old but his writing is murderous vivid" (future slang)
