At The Wheeler Centre to listen to people talk about David Foster Wallace. Yay!
This was pretty great. Six speakers read various excerpts from Wallace's work. Two from
The Pale King, one from
Consider the Lobster, one from
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, one from
Oblivion and the last read 'This is Water'.
Nam Le, who read from
Good Old Neon, from
Oblivion (which I haven't read) just seemed to choose the most magic passages, and had such a beautiful reading voice.
I want to get a tattoo that is simply 'w/r/t'. I think there would be many things worse than being reminded of David Foster Wallace every day.
