Submit to Digg Most Popular Dramatic Irony What is Poetry? Poetry A Thousand Splendid Suns ... The Game Oblivion From Brian Howe (Continued from Page 1) by David Foster Wallace Guide Rating - The narrative thrust of "Oblivion" proceeds outward in radial spikes (while its intellectual thrust proceeds ever inward) from a golf course's restaurant, where the narrator attempts to petition his disapproving father-in-law for advice on an increasingly dire martial schism that stems from a disagreement between he and his wife as to whether the narrator has a snoring problem, as his wife maintains, or whether the wife is dreaming that the narrator is snoring, as he maintains. The reserved equivocations of the husband, alternately humorous and heartbreaking, build toward a climactic visit to a sleep clinic where the matter (snoring or dreaming?) is settled, albeit settled in an ambiguous and highly contingent way that alludes to the endlessly reversing currents of blame in the breakdown of marital love. "Incarnations of Burned Children", in three concise pages, relates the story (unfolding in real time for maximum urgency) of two parents springing into action when their infant son is badly scalded by an overturned pot of boiling water.

His writing atomizes and analyzes the world, as most of us think we know it, and leaves his characters to spin at odd angles. Whatever expectations a reader might have for coherence and chronology quickly are overtaken by a kind of verbal Brownian motion, the wild zig and zag that marks a Wallace narrative. Ultimately what brings his stories together and occasionally splits them apart, is the language, the sheer rollercoaster ride of words. Character and plot are present but only as afterthoughts to the verbal gymnastics of his prose. In his new book, he comes down from the vast airy altitudes of meta-fiction and delivers the world in slightly more bite-sized morsels.

43. Languagehat.com: DAVID FOSTER WALLACE DEMOLISHED. Charles Fries was a distinguished linguist and a president of the Linguistic Society of America, and he knew more about language than david foster wallace http://www.languagehat.com/archives/000510.php

Main August 12, 2002 DAVID FOSTER WALLACE DEMOLISHED. I was attacking DFW's long Harper's essay on usage in a comment on MeFi today, and the more I thought about it, the madder I got, and I finally couldn't resist letting him have it at length. Wallace's long, long article pretends to be a review of Bryan Garner's Dictionary of Modern American Usage really important !" He proudly admits to being what in his family is called a SNOOT (his caps), and when he admits that some of those rules are actually silly he says (on p. 51 of the original article) "...people who insist on them... are that very most pathetic and dangerous sort of SNOOT, the SNOOT Who Is Wrong" (again, his caps). Truer words were never spoke. Let's take it from the top. p. 41, fn. 3: "SNOOT ( n highly colloq ) is this reviewer's nuclear family's nickname for a really extreme usage fanatic..." What does he mean here by " "? A is a novel with a key, a key which if you possess it (by being in the know) allows you to decipher which characters represent which real people. This is not how he uses "SNOOT" (if it were, it would be a coded designation for a single person, his mother perhaps); the word is simply family jargon. We are forced to conclude he does not know how to use the French phrase he deploys so snappily. p. 42, fn. 8: "From personal experience, I can assure you that any kid like this is going to be at best marginalized and at worst savagely and repeatedly Wedgied." Why the capital W? We go to Webster's Third and find the answer: Wedgies is thus written. But wait! The definition is "

In his readings of these works, Boswell affirms that Wallace, though still young, compels our attention not only for the singular excellence of his work but, perhaps more important, for his groundbreaking effort to chart a fruitful and affirmative new direction for the literary novel at a time of bleak prospects.

Premiere, Sept. 1996 Lost Highway article IN WHICH NOVELIST David Foster Wallace VISITS THE SET OF DAVID LYNCH'S NEW MOVIE AND FINDS THE DIRECTOR BOTH grandly admirable AND sort of nuts 1. WHAT MOVIE THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT Lost Highway is set in Los Angeles and the desertish terrain immediately inland from it. Principal shooting goes from December '95 through February '96. Lynch normally runs a closed set, with redundant security arrangements and an almost Masonic air of secrecy around his movies' productions, but I am allowed onto the Lost Highway set on 8-10 January 1996. (I This is not because of anything having to do with me or with the fact that I'm a fanatical Lynch fan from way back, though I did make my proLynch fanaticism known when the Asymmetrical people were trying to decide whether to let a writer onto the set. The fact is I was let onto Lost Highways set mostly because there's rather a lot at stake for Lynch and Asymmetrical on this movie and they probably feel like they can't afford to indulge their allergy to PR and the Media Machine quite the way they have in the past.) 2.

Perhaps one of the most ambitious attempts to capture the spirit of the age, Wallace's pervasive theme is the oceanic sadness and loneliness of an American society that is spiritually vacant but tirelessly and relentlessly addicted to its various addictions; addicted to capitalism and consumerism, addicted to entertainment, addicted to drugs, and addicted ... read more Note: This is a general synopsis.
