I would actually venture to say that youve never read wallace or understood his last work.
his death was very sincere and uncynical in some ways. it was rude, but it wasn't unkind in intent.

>>9595601
I agree his suicide was the only sincere moment in his life.

>It is not the least bit coincidental that adults who commit suicide with firearms nearly always shoot themselves in... the head.

I knew a guy who shot himself in the chest with birdshot. I'm not sure if he just wanted to leave less of a mess for when his parents found him or if he was just an idiot, but it took him a while to die.

Maybe he wanted to experience death more gradually. I'd never shoot myself in the head.

Hanging is a pretty shitty way to go. Considering it was a patio rafter, I'm sure DFW suffered. It's weird though that he bound his wrists with tape, probably to prevent himself from clawing at the ligature. You also tend to piss/shit yourself.

>>9597100
I meant to speculate on the reason for which the man mentioned in the post that I had replied to chose to shoot himself in the chest. Thanks for the info, though.
