Have you read anything else of DFW?

if you came in space would you have technically created an extra terrestrial civilization?

i've read his other short stories in that collection, and infinite jest

[QUOTE=BlessModalFireSirens;18811024]if you came in space would you have technically created an extra terrestrial civilization?[/QUOTE]

sadly, no

How do you not know it's a joke when it reads like: She lets me burn the back of her legs with matches. She's a really swell gal. I like her.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW IT'S A JOKE WHEN YOU'VE READ HIS OTHA WORKS.

back to the lab

I'm actually mad.

it's a joke but it isn't satirising that notion, the entire joke *is* that notion, which is a satirical notion

no, that's called discussing random stuff on a forum

He didn't want to write like Jack or Salinger he was annoyed with the style BEE, Didion, and McInerney were popularizing.

[QUOTE=Juddybear;18811018]/cums blood but keeps on moshing[/QUOTE]

bro that is so brutal

yeah but now my undies are all crusty with blood :(

So he took the minimal, heartless style and went overboard with it. Making it almost read like a children's book level of comedy.

Fingers, it was over when you said this:

[QUOTE=fingers mccoy;18810979]in what way is it making fun of it

seemed to be advocating it to me[/QUOTE]

I'm not gonna let you backpedal. You simply didn't grasp the concept and are now trying to lead me to your superfluous argument.

You thought DFW was advocating the 80's literature brat pack.

Read that over again and tell me to take you seriously and I will humor you

Read that over again and tell me to take you seriously and I will humor you[/QUOTE]i thought he was advancing a notion that the 80s literature brat pack liked to advance. i'm gonna reread it tonight and see if it does come off as a straight up parody of that style or if, as its popular reception indicates, it simply dovetails neatly with it.

Fingers, my chrome screen about covers 10% of one out of my two monitors and I need to alt tab like a bitch. Excuse any incoherency, as I'm sure you can decipher it.

what a lame excuse
