The Howling Fantods has concluded its David Foster Wallace motivational poster contest. (via)
Gasp. DFW killed himself yesterday. How awful.
This MetaFilter thread collects some of his inimitable work:
- Incarnations of burned children, Esquire
- Good People, The New Yorker
- Host, The Atlantic
- Roger Federer as religious experience, The New York Times
- Tense present, Harper’s (and, to be fair, languagehat’s takedown of same)
- His interview with Charlie Rose
- A good description of that fascinating interview
