Woah. I was just literally looking up O.N.A.N for no real reason. Such synchronicity.
And yes, I think he was in his own way. He was incredibly prescient and Infinite Jest is a fucking brilliant analysis and depiction of post modernism.

If I don't like post modernism should I still read him? I tried reading Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49 but wasn't a huge fan. I'm still giving Inherent Vice a shot atm which is better so far

I'm not the one getting triggered by a question lel. I have no opinions about the guy I was just curious what my polacks thought, and wanted a chance to make fun of that retarded banana of his

I think you should. Infinite Jest is quite a dense and challenging book if you are into that sort of thing. I find that people either love it or hate it, but it is usually hated for more superficial reasons than it is loved. It is a post modern work, but DFW was intensely critical of post modern society and I think it has a lot to offer, especially as we move into a more technologically focused and potentially superficial time in human history.
