The Chaffey Review: New unpublished DFWI received an exciting email from The Chaffrey Review Literary Magazine today: We here at The Chaffey Review literary magazine would first like to extend yet another expression of sympathy towards the entire David Foster Wallace fan community concerning his tragic passing. We do, however, have interesting and potentially exciting news concerning apreviously unpublished Wallace piece. Before his death, Wallace agreed to donate a portion of a larger work ("An Untitled Chunk") along with first publishing rights, to the students of Chaffey College, allowing us to print it in the first edition of our literary magazine. The magazine is being published this January and is the only available printing of this piece. Our contract with Wallace's family and agent dictates that we cannot publish any portion of the piece online, nor in any other publication, so this is truly a unique opportunity.
You can find more information about The Chaffey Review at http://www.chaffeyreview.org/. We request that you pass on this information about Wallace's piece to the rest of the Davis Foster Wallace fan community in order to promote this final piece of his work. Thank you very much, The Chaffey Review Literary Magazine Slate Audio Bookclub: Infinite JestThe December Slate Audio Bookclub will discuss Infinite Jest as its subject for December. More here.
