WHERE: The Martin E. Segal Theatre, CUNY Graduate Center, 365 5th Ave, NY, NY.
 
WHEN: Friday, November 20th, 2009 (a date of no small significance in the Infinite Jest chronology: hope there isn't too much snow!), 9 AM - 5 PM.

 

Thanks, Judd

A big 'thanks' to everyone who sent in small .pdf files of the Whiskey Island Interview. A new small (36kb, thanks, Zack) pdf has been added to the (outdated) Interviews page. If anyone can add to the list of print interviews (either updates for broken links or new links) drop me a line.

 

To answer all the questions about the linkable (but unreadable without subscription) Modernism/modernity DFW tribute, a wallace-l member did all the legwork (thanks, Mark!). You can buy a single print issue (in the US at least) by calling their toll-free number (800-548-1784). Order is by credit card and I understand the cost is $14.00, plus $3.00 shipping (to the US I assume).

 

Final call for the Canberra DFW fan meetup. Only a handful of replies so far (as expected) if you are interested in joining us for a social evening soon let me know so we can finalise a date, time and inner-city location.

 

 

 

The online edition of the Rain Taxi Review of Books is hosting a great essay by Tim Jacobs called, "The Fight: Considering David Foster Wallace Considering You."

 

Well worth your time, the final paragraph is wonderful.

Attention Canberra Wallace fans. We are trying to organise a small meetup at an inner city location for an evening of remembrance, discussion, and the opportunity to meet some local DFW admirers (including the admin of this site). Keen? 

 

Get in touch using The Howling Fantods contact form. Include a valid email address and ensure 'Canberra Meetup' is in the subject.

 

More details when we know how many interested parties we have.

The Slow Review has made available a new DFW obituary written by Rino Breebaart & Adam Rivett. It is well worth your time.

The lovely people over at the Sonora Review have let me know you can now pre-order the DFW Tribute issue using paypal. Pre-order here.

 

Re: The Whiskey Island DFW Interview I posted yesterday. I've been sent a number of .pdf conversions (thanks everyone), and I've added a 12mb .pdf which is easy to read, but not searchable. Once again, The Whiskey Island Magazine interview was conducted by Hugh Kennedy and Geoffrey Polk and printed in the Spring 1993 edition of the Whiskey Island Magazine. It is made available with the magazine's permission.
