David Foster Wallace RIP
David Foster Wallace has committed suicide at the age of 46.
I suspect I am not alone in being currently halfway through Infinite Jest, but unlike with other books I’ve never quite finished, every time I do pick it up I think, “Damn, this is good.”
And the short periods after reading and rereading his 2006 article Federer as Religious Experience are the only times I have ever found myself actively wanting to watch tennis.
There’s a page collecting all his work for Harper’s Magazine, here
