David Foster Wallace article
Aug. 3rd, 2009 10:20 amhttp://www.lynchnet.com/lh/lhpremiere.html
OCR scanned with errors, but still one of my favorite things that David Foster Wallace ever wrote: An article about David Lynch. It takes some doing to get through, and I know no one has time to read such irrelevancies anymore--it's about a movie that came out 13 years ago--but worth posting, just the same. He captures the way I feel about David Lynch's creepiness in a way I would never have been able to articulate. And of course he's hilarious as always. I love the multilayeredness, footnotes and interminable sentences. Some of that he has in common with other entertaining writers, but I love that DFW makes things so personal; he doesn't distance himself with irony (like, say, Dave Eggers.)
So, my crush on DFW continues posthumously. I have a thing for brilliant men. Too bad so many brilliant men are also crazy, moody, and self-obsessed.
