If you are lucky, on occasions an author will touch you so deeply - TopicsExpress



          

If you are lucky, on occasions an author will touch you so deeply that you feel a personal connection. This happened with me when I learned that David Foster Wallace won (21 Feb. 1962-12 Sept. 2008) won the MacCarthur Genius Grant, a year after writing his monstrously long novel Infinite Jest in 1996. The 1,079 page novel represents his most famous achievement, but this book is not how I came to know this man, with profound insights on existence and empathy. zipminis/17/post/2013/09/you-must-know-of-david-foster-wallace-and-his-suicidea-hole-in-the-universe.html
