it's wild how if you live long enough you see the conventional wisdom swing around 180 degrees from "oh wow I'm so cool and cultured because I performatively love DFW" to "oh wow I'm so cool and cultured because I performatively hate DFW" which is why I don't recommend it (living) (DFW agrees)

Major prole tell to try to appreciate DFW by starting at page 1 of IJ. Just read his short stories and watch his presentations/interviews. He's brilliant and inspired me to wear a white paisley bandana around 50% of the time.

I'm a pretty big fan. Read all the short nonfiction pieces, they're digestible and fun and insightful, and the voice is great. Read Infinite Jest a couple of times and really enjoyed it, though unlike the above poaster I actually think the tennis academy + Incandenza family stuff is way better than the other parts of the book. Broom of the system is interesting but not as good as IJ. LOL at getting through the publishing apparatus today as a white guy, there's no real reason to bash DFW when we'd be in 1000x better shape fiction-wise if people like him were allowed to publish
