Hello Tom and dashing listeners

Re: DFW, a coworker once asked me about fave books, and I said Infinite Jest first. A few weeks later, he angrily told me he gave up after a few pages, and that a relative of his who was a professor of English literature in Italy said it was "unreadable crap that people pretend they read just to show off"

Also, Juliana Hatfield once said a tourmate had read it and said it made no sense, but he admitted he didn't read the footnotes

I hear ya, Chuk. Long story short: Had a chronic infection that was pretty dormant. Couldn't breathe out of one nostril for a long time (chalked it up to my filthy old apt). When I had my wisdom teeth removed I got the dry socket and my sinus basically turned into an abscess. Was on and off antibiotics last summer and eventually wound up in the ER. The channel that formed happens to about 10-12% of people who get teeth extracted. So it's a cleaning and to make incisions to force those openings to heal. Shouldn't be too bad, certainly not as bad as a quad wisdom tooth removal. Will hopefully be home in time for Sheila B next week!

Quote from DFW's syllabus that has stuck with me: Don’t let any potential lightweightish-looking qualities of the texts delude you into thinking that this will be a blow-off-type class.

Yeti- the guy I read about was Carolinas/Virginia/Appalachia.
and well liked ... as a person ..
Maybe only finished the short stories ??
Seems like he was well known in some
circles..
ThinkI found his name in a New Yorker article and
got the book from NYPL ??? 2000????
Think there was a photo {not a joke]
Think he had longish stringy blond hair and drove an old truck ??
{not a joke] He was well liked by the townsfolk = old coal mining town ..

HANDY and Yeti combo should come up with the answer without
asking to buy a vowel ...

Must cycle to old center Madrid ... my lovely right side sandal started talking yesterday so need new foot garments.. If not back before 12 EST - was killed in traffic..

ChukAmok (@10:48) ... I dunno. It was the most irruptive of the wave of ghoulish marketing-based publishing that followed his death. It is in no wise a finished project. So, yeah, I think there's critical and scholarly interest to be found in it but as a piece of writing and as a part of the legacy of a treasured writer, I mainly find it super depressing.

karlward, a friend who used to work with me here at went to work at UT Press and is a major player in DFW scholarship and had a small publishing co. devoted to bringing out work on him. I can lend you some stuff if you want.
