If you consider yourself a serious reader of literary fiction, then you have to have an opinion on David Foster Wallace. You need not have read Infinite Jest, though I suggest you do. Or at least try. I'm toying with the idea of re-reading it this year - stretch it out over the year, read it in sections, come back to it.
At any rate, there's a documentary out on DFW:
From Flavorwire:
If you’re a reader, a writer or even just a member of the television saturation generation, it’s worth a listen, and if you’re a fan of Wallace, the program may tug at your heartstrings, suggesting what might have been, but celebrating the man as he was. As Don DeLillo tells Ward, “I can’t think of anyone quite like him, at all… Wallace stands alone.” Click through to hear the documentary in its entirety.
