I'm embarrassed at how funny this is

I have confused feelings about dfw... I really like infinite jest but i like it in much the same way i might like some art made by a very good friend. I don't see it as some sort of holy grail or masterpiece entirely beyond me, rather i have a whole lot of gripes with it. Lots of it is true genius and in other parts i see the writelh tendencies in myself which i most seek to correct... DFW was certainly more learned than I though.

Idk. I love it and i love him but at the same time I don't find either to be like... Intimidatingly masterful and perfect. perhaps that is part of its humanity?

theres a brief interview thread right here

no discernible talent

I genuinely don't understand postmodern literature.

Like, I understand ironic or satirical works, but basing your whole style on obfuscating yourself and preventing genuine communication? Seems weird to me.

Dave justed wanted to be closer to the world of spirits.

learn to love the water
it will love you like there's no tomorrow
here I am in the ocean
not waving but drowning
so cold I cant feel my toes
circulations dead still
h2o will freeze you to the marrow

That reads very much like a DFW line

I just thought this guy had a magic asshole until I realized it was reversed.

It's fun.

DFW is metamodern not postmodern.
