DFW's Philosophy Thesis from Amherst - 1985

Saturday, 20 September 2008 04:37 Articles or Essays
Ryan from The Know(e): dfw has released the fourth of the The Amherst
Documents.
 
You can download DFW's Philosophy Thesis 
 
Not easy going. I skimmed, but an interesting perspective of his work
all the same. Two more Amherst documents to go.
 
 
I needed a break from updating, and some time to read. I have a whole
heap of links to add later today, and a couple of other treats. See you then. 
 
Big thanks for all of the emails.They have kept me going the last few days.
 
If you find a good link (or have one of your own) let me know.

An Ex-resident's Story

Thursday, 18 September 2008 19:57 General Updates
I first read this, An Ex-resident's Story, a while back.
 
I chose not to post a link on the fantods (as far as I am aware...) because it could not be verified. Discussion has now resurfaced in a number of locations around the web. You'll likely appreciate it more if you've read Infinite Jest.
