I think it's worth the pain and hardship, I think it's a fantastic work. For a long time after I read it I gave up the notion of writing the Great American Novel because Wallace [censored] blows the doors off anything I could ever hope to write. In retrospect, though, we just write differently. But the guy has to be a goddamn genius to write that book, has to be.
