Have we talked about Oblivion, the new David Foster Wallace, at all?

i can't remember enough to answer those two questions, but i did think the suffering channel was my least favorite thing there, like the last thing in his other collection of stories (i mean, not 'interviews', which isn't really a collection of stories as such), because it seemed distended in similar ways. also "a 9/11 story" and "humour based on the mockery of obese people" are both on my list of Things David Foster Wallace Ought To Do Better Than.

i don't know if i even made it halfway thru suffering channel.

another reason wallace is a douche: cuz he left ISU to for rich socal preps at pomona. not that i blame him.

i don't understand your last line there.
