DFW Parodies
Saturday, 16 June 2007
The Howling Fantods ran a David Foster Wallace parody competition back in early 2004. The entries kind of 'went missing' in the transfer to new look and CMS. Now they're back for your reading pleasure! (Thanks for the reminder, George!)

New Fiction from something longer: "untitled excerpt..."
Friday, 01 June 2007
Is it part of a new, dare I say it, novel? As mentioned in the most recent news item, (edit: Thanks for the clarification comment, Mark, it has been read out by DFW before, at a New Yorker event ) the piece David Foster Wallace read at Le Conversazioni 2006, "untitled excerpt from something longer that isn't even close to halfway finished yet" is now available over at the DFW Le Conversazioni 2006 page. Enjoy!

I finally checked my email and discovered that DFW is the editor of the upcoming The Best American Essays 2007 published Oct 10 this year. It will be very interesting to see what essays are included and hopefully there'll be an introduction written by him. (Thanks Kyösti and Steve!)
