This, it's desperate more than anything. Although not as desperate as making up a story on /lit/ for attention

What with /lit/ and lacking their own actual opinions and style?
A man recommending DFW to a woman? What a fucking surprise! Rapist!
so this is water
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW
Men should not be allowed to talk to women, ever ever ever ever ever EVER
I will never not laugh at the greatly deserved ridicule of this hack fraud. Why bother reading someone who couldn't even live with himself?
The only sincere moment in the life of David Foster Wallace was when he kicked away the chair. The rest of his life was a lie, the new sincerity was a joke whose punchline was the creaking of a leather belt around the rafter.
His literary career was a menagerie of self help lies told to keep his depression at bay - the audience pussy and drugs were the ghosts at that feast of hypocrisy.
The depression was warranted because behind all the gimmicks and the self awareness and the bandannas was no discernible talent.
i don't do much in real life but if i start doing the\at i hope someone tries to talk to me about david foster wallace so i can pretend i have no idea who he is and act totally uninterested
