Moral MinorityNota Bene: The Moral Passion of David Foster Wallace's The Pale King with Hannah Smart EpisodeDavid Foster Wallace, the loquacious novelist behind Infinite Jest, seemingly predicted much of our culture moment from AI avatars to the hypnotic and addictive temptation of the infinite scroll. In his fiction and essays, he agonized over the ways in which advertisers and mass media have coopted techniques of subversion and rebellion like irony to make products that are more entertaining, more flattering to our egos, and more difficult to ply ourselves away from. As a writer of dizzingly erudite, complexly structured, yet morally earnest fiction he was concerned with devising new imaginative ways of competing with our short-circuited...

The Art of InfluenceEpisode 69 - This Is Water: David Foster Wallace on the Work of LivingThis episode is a deep dive into David Foster Wallace’s iconic 2005 Kenyon College speech, famously published under the title This Is Water.

David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American writer and university professor in the disciplines of English and creative writing. This speech is from his graduation address at Kenyon College in 2005.The most profound ideas are the most difficult to articulate because they express thoughts that transcend words.

But what Joyce taught Wallace — the best writer of his generation, and a former junior player himself — turned into the greatest tennis essay of all time.

In her recent Harper’s Magazine cover story, she takes on Wallace’s 1997 cruise essay, also published in Harper’s, as she describes her experience aboard the Goop cruise. “But I didn’t want it to just be a work of criticism reckoning with David Foster Wallace’s reputation,” Oyler adds. So her essay goes beyond reputation to discuss “male feminists,” class dynamics on cruise ships, and the tired nature of materialist critiques...

"David Foster Wallace noticed early on that tennis is a good sport for literary types and purposes. It draws the obsessive and brooding. It is perhaps the most isolating of games. Even boxers have a corner, but in professional tennis it is a rules violation for your coach to communicate with you beyond polite encouragement, and spectators are asked to keep silent while you play. Your opponent is far away, or, if near, is indifferently hostile. It may be as close as w...

How do TV and new forms of media keep their hold on us when we know at some level that they're reinforcing our loneliness and passivity? That's easy, Wallace says, post-modern cool. Flatter me, let me think we're all in the joke together, give me "an ironic permission-slip to do what I do best whenever I feel confused and guilty: assume, inside, a sort of fetal position, a pose of passive reception to comfort, escape, reassurance."

Sherman Alexie’s Substack AudioOn the Night that David Foster Wallace Killed Himself I was at a literary gathering in Seattle when the news hit that David Foster Wallace had killed himself. The sudden grief was palpable. Two of my friends, epic fans of Wallace, wiped away tears. They were two men mourning the death of their favorite writer—another man in such emotional and mental distress that he’d felt his only option was to suicide.

Christopher Walch – SDWT#722 This Is Water by David Foster WallaceTitle: This is Water
Author: David Foster Wallace
Today we are going through another article on another book by nateliason.com. A really interesting book, also considering the backstory of the author, his story. It starts with something funny, I guess the book in general is also not always too serious but it gets serious as well. Serious about topics and thoughts and things that are interesting and valuable to talk and think about. I hope you like this short little piece.

This episode is a perfect example, Tamler pretending to be a cinephile (check out his four favorite pieces of 2019 "pop culture" in the first segment), David trying to connect with the people (Baby Yoda, Keanu Reeves etc.) – and of course what could be more fraudulent than a deep dive into a David Foster Wallace story, rhapsodizing over the endless sentences, the logical paradoxes, the seven-layer bean-dip of...

Jedes Jahr findet im Caesars Palace in Las Vegas die Verleihung der Adult Video News Awards statt, der Oscars der Pornoindustrie. Im Auftrag der Zeitschrift Premiere besucht David Foster Wallace 1998 die Preisverleihung sowie die zugehörige Pornomesse und lässt sich dort von Branchenjournalisten mit so schönen Namen wie Dick Filth die subtilen Hierarchien, erbittertsten Branchenfehden und wildesten Gerüchte dieser ziemlich flamboyanten Parallelkultur näherbringen. Er schreibt über geklaute Trophäen, größenwahnsinnige Regisseure, naturschöne Darstellerinnen, wahre Klischees und das Pornobusiness als gänzlich ironiefreie Zone.

MIT Comparative Media Studies/WritingD.T. Max, "Angels of Death: David Foster Wallace and the Battle against Irony, Letterman and Leyner"D.T. Max, staff writer at the New Yorker, looks at David Foster Wallace and irony, with an eye especially on his 1990's attacks on David Letterman and the novelist Mark Leyner, both in publications and in private correspondence. When did David Foster Wallace become obsessed with irony and why? What made him so sure it was corrosive to civil culture or initiative? Or was the unease he felt in its presence really more the product of his own personal history?
Co-hosted with Literature at MIT.
