Did DFW have ADD? Or was that kind of writing style purposeful. Ive been reading Oblivion and got through Mister Squishy and Started The soul is not a Smithy. He spends so much time on "random?" (maybe not random) descriptive tangents. Is he doing it on purpose or is it a reflection of how he was in real life? Also general DFW thread I suppose.

why do we seek to pathologize degrees of normality

I am just interested in if thats his writing style intentionally or accidentally.

>>9427696
It was done on purpose. He wanted his writing to seem stylistically "fractured", which is also why he added the footnotes and endnotes.

It must have been so fucking exhausting constantly going off on tangents of thought like that. No wonder he died
>>
>>9427696
It was on purpose. It serves different reasons in different stories but like the other anon said it was mostly used to fracture story. I don't think someone who used to do math logic all day had ADD.

This is your hero, /lit/? Some guy so embarrassed by his hairline he had to wear bandannas in public

i know this is bait but he wore bandannas because he was self-conscious of all the sweat that would accumulate on his forehead when in anxiety-inducing situations, like the interview in OP's pic
