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 |

Date: July 15th, 2012 9:13 PM Author: Black Wild Shrine 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1994845&forum_id=2#21095562) |
