Just watch End of the Tour, OP. It's much keener insight into DFW's intent in writing it.

>>84243278
The book is far too big and Wallace's use of complex language only serves to make him seem smarter

Both of those things heavily informed his writing but that's not an actual criticism.
>>84244596
Oh don't get me wrong I really liked the movie too, but I always thought it struggled to move away from a mildly goofy tone even when it was trying to be serious, which is a problem the book didn't have

Pic related would make a fantastic found footage mocunentary similar to Troll Hunter or the likes. The way the story is written is essentially a written form of a mocunentary. As well, it would be a good way to explain away the exposition that takes up a majority of the books.

having an iq of 75 would heavily inform your writing, by making it terrible. it is a criticism.

>>84245132
Sure, but being high, paranoid or schizophrenic didn't inform it in the same way having an IQ of 75 would have. You're comparing things that can only be compared in a very general way. You may not like his writing but it's hardly terrible. Granted some of his books do devolve into nearly incoherent messes at points but he also tackles some interesting themes in a pretty good manner

Him being a drug addict and mentally ill informed his writing in that it led him to write about perception and consciousness and the alteration of ones reality that can be caused by drugs or mental illness. That's hardly comparable to being a retard, which would just make the writing shit

I don't even know if I'd want any concrete visual interpretation.

Didn't the author commit suicide when he realised how much of a talentless hack he was and how worthless his books were?

>>84245493
If I say what my favorite books are (even if I lie), you'll just find some problem with them regardless.
Even if my top ten favorite books were an exact match of your top ten, you'd probably call me a faggot anyway because you don't really care about discourse and probably hate yourself.

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 act 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 nothing but 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. At the end of the day the depression was warranted because behind all the self awareness, the gimmicks and the bandannas was no discernible talent.

this would make a good tv series desu

Flow My Tears, the Policemen Said would be great for TV. Can't wait for it to be butchered into a single hour for the new Amazon series!

White Chappel, Scarket Tracings by Iain Sinclair would be great as a BBC mini series or something like that. Suprised by the lack of late century modernist-like novels being adapted for TV seeing as how so many of them seem to have similar narrative structures to big name TV shows.

Also I've always wanted to see Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut adapted for the screen by some stylish director, along the lines of a Wes Anderson affair with less daddy issues.

None of them. If you see the film adaptation first, it ruins the book. If you read the book first, it ruins the film adaptation.

Leave this book alone. Only Kubrick could do it.

In case it isn't, he admitted that he desired recognition and attention, and the language might be an attempt at that. But it's also not something that ruins the book. Go back to watching capeshit if you can't be bothered to learn new words while reading a book.

The first chapter is so good though? Aren't you interested in what the situation is, in what is going on?
The second or third chapter is a really difficult read, but after that it's all manageable
