Not a New DFW Story

So yesterday on twitter people started mentioning an 'unpublished' David Foster Wallace story (The boy) that appeared over at this tumblr page.
It's actually one third of the text that Matt Hale transcribed back in 2008 from one of my fave DFW readings, the Lannan Readings & Conversations; Dec. 6, 2000, "Three Fragments from a Longer Thing". I would not be surprised if these (or edited parts of these) appeared in The Pale King based on the way DFW introduces them (note that I have no confirmation either way).
If you haven't heard any of the pieces before it is worth taking the time to listen to or read them.
You can listen to DFW reading all three pieces here, or read them as transcribed by Matt Hale, here.
