Re: Infinite Jest, the novel - discussion (spoilers)

I thought "Girl with Curious Hair" was better, particularly the title story and "My Appearance." "My Appearance" is brilliant analysis of David Letterman's comedic style and is absolutely...

Re: Infinite Jest, the novel - discussion (spoilers)

All,

First let me point out that this is not a Mike Pemulis gimmick account. I'm actually just a 2+2er who loves DFW and especially Infinite Jest that I wanted to have the Peemster's name as my...

uDevil,

That's all very good thinking, and I'm pretty sure you're right, or at least approximately so. But I don't think that the hypothetical opponent in Mason's article should be assumed to...
