Word has it that "The Compliance Branch", a new short story by David Foster Wallace, is in the February 08 issue of Harper's. For those of you that recall DFW's 2006 Le Conversazioni piece, I have been told that it is the same story. | | No comments for this item |

The single best critical text about Infinite Jest has been released! Elegant Complexity, written by Greg Carlisle, is an outstanding resource for both first time readers (there are very little spoliers if you read it along with IJ) or for those people who have read this wonderful novel numerous times. I rarely get this excited about releases (apart from DFW's stuff), this is a seriously good investment. I was able to read a draft earlier this year and I was surprised by the number of times I discovered something new about IJ. I had the impression I knew the novel pretty well! Disclosure: I know Greg, and have read a draft, and yes, if you follow the link to amazon I'll get commission through the associates programme. This is the best analysis of IJ, it is a must have.

I'm back after a little holiday and break from the Fantods. Expect updates to be a little more regular now. Thanks to everyone who emailed about the Atlantic piece and the American essays collection, it is great to know you are all out there. I'm keeping an ear to the ground about the Brief Interviews with Hideous Men movie. Currently the John Krasinski project is set for release (as far as I am aware) early next year. The only news appearing about it regularly is that it is coming. Has anyone out there got anything more detailed? Rumour, joke, fact? An IJ movie starting shooting in 2008? The name David O. Russell is connected to the one single reference I have been forwarded (along with some pretty interesting cast names). I am loathe to post anything more until I get some sort of semi-believable confirmation (thanks to source of this news asking if I knew anything). Anyone? | | This item includes 1 comment |

The Best American Essays 2007, edited and introduced by David Foster Wallace, is now available for purchase. I have not yet received my copy yet but from what I have heard it is, for the most part, a top quality collection. | | No comments for this item |
