David Foster Wallace: In Memoriam
In a Swampland obituary, Michael Scherer offers the following praise: For a decade at least, he has been one of our nation's greatest ongoing innovators of narrative journalism, of the magazine story, and a rightful heir to the golden age writers of old. The obituaries have flooded the media world, but for our money, David Gates' column in Newsweek offers the most complete view of the Foster Wallace reality (although Laura Miller's piece in Salon is worth reading, as is her interview with the author after the publication of Infinite Jest.) Some memories and quotes after the jump. Harper's made its entire DFW archive available. From Miller's interview: What do you think is uniquely magical about fiction? From NPR: "After reading Wallace, I feel buzzed-up, smarter -- I'm better company." From his 2005 commencement address at Kenyon College: "I wish you way more than luck." Email This Post |
