    Extractions: A Conversation with David Foster Wallace by Valerie Stivers David Foster Wallace did not expect to be the Spring '96 literary posterboy. After all, Infinite Jest is only his second novel and it spends its 1000-plus pages satirizing and decrying consumer and media culture. But the media has made him their darling nonetheless, and book-buyers are, well, buying it. And now, this self-effacing young author His publisher's intense publicity campaign began last summer and apparently it paid off: the novel was already in its fourth printing when it arrived in bookstores this February. Reviews and profiles have appeared everywhere from the New York Times to Salon , from the Atlantic Monthly to Puncture . Fittingly, the hype merited media coverage of its own. A book mocking products, it seems, can still be a hot one. But my fear, as a reader of Infinite Jest , was that the joke was on me. Audiences in Infinite Jest are pretty much fucked. You see, audiences in Infinite Jest are pretty much fucked. At the novel's core are a group of recovering drug addicts, a pair of government agents, and the three sons of filmmaker James O. Incandenza, who inhabit a not-so-distant future in which Mexico, Canada and the United States have formed O.N.A.N.

    Extractions: David Foster Wallace, page 2 N ot much of the press about "Infinite Jest" addresses the role that Alcoholics Anonymous plays in the story. How does that connect with your overall theme? The sadness that the book is about, and that I was going through, was a real American type of sadness. I was white, upper-middle-class, obscenely well-educated, had had way more career success than I could have legitimately hoped for and was sort of adrift. A lot of my friends were the same way. Some of them were deeply into drugs, others were unbelievable workaholics. Some were going to singles bars every night. You could see it played out in 20 different ways, but it's the same thing. Some of my friends got into AA. I didn't start out wanting to write a lot of AA stuff, but I knew I wanted to do drug addicts and I knew I wanted to have a halfway house. I went to a couple of meetings with these guys and thought that it was tremendously powerful. That part of the book is supposed to be living enough to be realistic, but it's also supposed to stand for a response to lostness and what you do when the things you thought were going to make you OK, don't. The bottoming out with drugs and the AA response to that was the starkest thing that I could find to talk about that. I get the feeling that a lot of us, privileged Americans, as we enter our early 30s, have to find a way to put away childish things and confront stuff about spirituality and values. Probably the AA model isn't the only way to do it, but it seems to me to be one of the more vigorous.

26. Dalkey Archive Press: An Interview With David Foster Wallace
    An Interview With david foster wallace by Larry McCaffery. david fosterwallace It's a try at a comprehensive diagnosis, not an apology.  
    http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/interviews/interview_wallace.html
    
    Extractions: LARRY McCAFFERY: Your essay following this interview is going to be seen by some people as being basically an apology for television. What's your response to the familiar criticism that television fosters relationships with illusions or simulations of real people (Reagan being a kind of quintessential example)? DAVID FOSTER WALLACE: It's a try at a comprehensive diagnosis, not an apology. U.S. viewers' relationship with TV is essentially puerile and dependent, as are all relationships based on seduction. This is hardly news. But what's seldom acknowledged is how complex and ingenious TV's seductions are. It's seldom acknowledged that viewers' relationship with TV is, albeit debased, intricate and profound. It's easy for older writers just to bitch about TV's hegemony over the U.S. art market, to say the world's gone to hell in a basket and shrug and have done with it. But I think younger writers owe themselves a richer account of just why TV's become such a dominating force on people's consciousness, if only because we under forty have spent our whole conscious lives being "part" of TV's audience. LM: Television may be more complex than what most people realize, but it seems rarely to attempt to "challenge" or "disturb" its audience, as you've written me you wish to. Is it that sense of challenge and pain that makes your work more "serious" than most television shows?

34. The BradLands: David Foster Wallace: Generation X Is This Writer's Beat
    david foster wallace Generation X Is This Writer's Beat. by BradL. Graham david foster wallace sits at a conference table in the  
    http://www.bradlands.com/words/post/fosterWallace.html
    
    Extractions: David Foster Wallace sits at a conference table in the International Writers Center at Washington University's West Campus in Clayton, sipping coffee and chewing toothpicks, an oral substitute for the cigarettes he forswore a few months earlier. "I'm 35 years old," the author of "Infinite Jest" says as he begins to describe himself. "I've been doing this for 13 years. I think I'm pretty good, but I don't think I'm real good yet." This is a rare moment of conciseness for Wallace, whose prose is filled with convoluted but perfectly logical sentences that sometimes seem to go on for pages. Hailed by critics as the most gifted chronicler of his generation, he clearly doesn't believe - or read - his own press coverage. Although his first two books, a novel and a collection of short stories, showed the promise of a rising new writer, Wallace really caught the attention of critics last year with "Infinite Jest," his second novel. It's a 1,079-page work set mostly at a tony tennis academy and a drug rehab ilitation halfway house in the near future. "Infinite Jest" is actually an assortment of loosely related stories. . At its center is the tale of three brothers, the Incandenzas, and the shadow cast over them by their father's suicide. A side plot concerns a band of wheelchair-bound terrorists seeking to control the eponymous "Infinite Jest," a film believed to be so entertaining that it puts anyone who views it into a blissed-out haze. Another side plot follows Don Gately, a drug addict who will found a new religion.

    Extractions: Books Index Metro Metroactive Central Archives No Fun Factor Infinite Jester David Wallace is an infinite bore in book of essays By Allen Barra D AVID FOSTER WALLACE has been building a literary cult for several years now, based mostly on the strength of two witty, superb short stories"Lyndon" and "My Appearance," both of which appeared in The New Yorker and are collected in the 1989 book The Girl With Curious Hair but also on some savagely self-deprecating (and often funny) interviews. Wallace has become the spokesman for a generation of writers raised not on literature but on television and academic theories (mostly French, in translation) of literature. He threatened to rise to full celebrity status last year with the publication of the 1,000-plus-page The Infinite Jest , which might better have been called The Infinite Novel . In The New York Times , it was reported that Playboy has declared Wallace a genius and that movie star Ethan Hawke attends his readings. God knows Playboy is where I go for my hot literary tips. The Infinite Jest angered and depressed most people I know, not because it was difficult to read, like Joyce's big novels, which reveal more as you dig deeper, but because it was so easy to read to so little effect.

    Extractions: "Obnoxicon '03" One day, about a year ago, Bill and I spent the day on a bus. This was not unusual. We spent a lot of time on buses seeing as they were our only means of traveling from one city to another while we were in Central America. On this particular bus ride it began to rain. This was also fairly typical. A man sitting across the aisle from us rested his head against the back of the seat in front of him, his face turned toward the open window. He didn't notice the collective angry stare directed at the back of his head. When a woman asked him to close the window (in Spanish) he looked at her blankly and leaned his head forward once again. Finally someone angrily yelled "Close the window!" in English and the guy looked up once again. He slid the window until it was only half-opened and went back to his nap. This just made them madder. I was quietly watching all this and remembering how I'd seen that same guy earlier in the day eating hot dogs and bitching about the weather. I have unassailable respect for anyone who can eat more than one hot dog at six am. He'd had huge suitcases and a foul expression. He made no attempt to speak Spanish to the guys who worked at the bus station. Typical Ugly American, right? Nah. I didn't think so. I didn't share in the others' indignation either. The behavior standard on a Costa Rican bus is very, very low. People push each other out of the way to board an empty bus. Pregnant women stand. Old people stand. Some people use up two seats. Imagine the New York City subway system and you'll have a very good idea of how it all works. I didn't begrudge this guy his open window and his sour expression unaccountably cheered me up.

    Extractions: I’m David Foster Wallace, the ex- enfant terrible of contemporary American literature, driving on a gray day along an industrial/railroad strip I live near in real life. The drive is from my P.O.V. (point of view), and I narrate the whole drive as him. I can’t remember the narration. November 15, 1998 I stand in a crowd at Kennywood (an amusement park in Pittsburgh), watching the dedication of a new wooden roller coaster, the Magic Bolt. I look at the side of the coaster and think, “David Foster Wallace should be up there.” One second later, someone announces over the loudspeakers, “And here’s David Foster Wallace,” followed by the sudden appearance on the coaster’s side of a huge flat wooden black-and-white David Foster Wallace head, sans bandanna, made from large photographic printing dots.
