Why doesn't this get love on the board? It's better than his novels. Can anyone recommend other "critical theory"-ish essays to read? Thx

The hip literary thing to say is that DFW will be remembered for his essays but not his novels

I have a feeling that no one will be reading DFW in 10 years and he will be all but forgotten in 25

DFW's writing is really fucking gimmicky and gimmicky writing does not usually survive. I doubt people in 2040 are going to be blow away by his 20 page essays with 50 retarded footnotes.

This thread is about an essay with 0 footnotes by the author. We can discuss Infinite Jest afterwards.
