David Foster Wallace

I have been reading some David Foster Wallace and I really admire his amazing writing - so painfully honest and sometimes very funny. His short story "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll never do again" about his week on a cruise ship made me laugh a lot. My Dad would have said that he was born with a skin too few and he paid a high price for that. "You are the sickness yourself." He was a complex character, not easy to be around I would imagine, but what a writer.
