The Globe and Mail, Globe Books - This is your choice
 
These appeared earlier this month and I somehow missed them. Tim Jacobs' Globe and Mail piece reads like a much better version of a couple of the pieces I posted recently (and his was published first) so give it a read. I'll also take a moment to remind you about Tim's great essay at RainTaxi online, Considering David Foster Wallace Considering You.

The reviews for This is Water continue to roll in. The final two are interesting in that they are negative responses (in different ways) to the release.
 
Newsday.com Bookends - This is Water
The Daily Iowan, Art Brief - Surely, they jest
 
And two responses as a result of NYT piece Great and Terrible Truths on Sunday:
Is the new news - DFW, still,
Living Bipolar: Re-Thinking Bipolar Disorder - Commencement or Conclusion?

The David Foster Wallace Audio Project
General Updates
Wednesday, 22 April 2009
I've just been contacted by Ryan Walsh about his excellent David Foster Wallace Audio Project. The project is a comprehensive collection of DFW audio readings, interviews etc. and is a wonderful resource. Ryan notes on the front page that he is still documenting the source for all of the audio, so if you have any information contact him.
 
I've already let him know that the Brief Interviews Readings were first released online here at the fantods and were put together by the amazing George Carr.
 
Forgot to mention that the site looks great, thumbs up to Jordyn for the design.

The Royal Tenenbaums and Infinite Jest
Infinite Jest
Tuesday, 21 April 2009
Jason over at kottke.org has reproduced, with permission, a great little article written by Matt Bucher. It is an analysis/comparison of The Royal Tenenbaums (a fave movie of mine) and Infinite Jest. I'd read this years ago and forgotten about it. Thanks Matt, and thanks Jason for getting it out there again.
