“This is Water”
2008 September 19
David Foster Wallace hanged himself a week ago. He was the author of several novels including, Infinite Jest, a book I managed to finish sometime in 1997, and one I remember and talk about more than almost any book I’ve read since.
I heard his 2005 commencement address to Kenyon College was published in today’s USA Today and went looking for it on the web. It is worth a read if you have a few minutes.
