Good.

German.

Something something event.

seems to be the only book anyone ever reads by him

I fucking loved it. No wonder DFW had a hard on for delillo-- the dude accomplished everything Wallace wanted to do in a much shorter work. The last couple pages on hearing the white noise and doing our best to deal with it was all DFW needed.

Delillo sleeping on Babette's bubs, is, again, something DFW wanted to accomplish with the tape of infinite jest being from a baby's perspective seeing Joelle VD, but Wallace's effort is cryptic while delillo's is straightforward. We need to be closer with nature, and kids are this. (Cf delillo on watching kids sleep).

That being said, I still love DFW and IJ for its entertainment and endless theorizing

>he thinks Delillo and Wallace are good writers

>>9680923
not him, but The Body Artist is one of my favorite works ever and I hardly see people talk about it.

>>9680781
I didn't care for it.

well it's short and probably his best

i read underworld and it was good too but very long

i gave it away to my high school library that didn't have any D man. Im also going to give them Underworld which I'm also not sure about the quality of. Anyway how did I do for people(high schoolers) who might not have ever read the guy?

I'm a fan of it, but in my opinion, the players by Dililildo was a more enjoyable read. Maybe because I feel closer to the characters than in WN, not sure. Still there are some really insightful passages that can be very funny, if sometimes not that beautifully written.
