The Howling Fantods

We're off to a cracking start, I'm already overwhelmed (in a great way).

I'm tweeting with the #ozwallace hashtag if you're keen to follow along.

See also the final schedule and abstracts.

I'm packing all my gear for the flight this afternoon...

In the meantime check out the final schedule and abstracts for OzWallace 2017 and watch for tweets and pics via #ozwallace.

Three days to go until OzWallace 2017 in Melbourne, Australia!

I'll be live tweeting updates and pics using the #ozwallace hashtag... and hopefully some other special things too...

A couple of recent paperback releases of excellent monographs that are absolute must reads if you're interested in current Wallace criticism.

Clare Hayes-Brady - The Unspeakable Failures of David Foster Wallace: Language, Identity, and Resistance

David Hering - David Foster Wallace - Fiction and Form

(Have I missed any?)

If you haven't been checking regularly, it's worth following the posts by The International David Foster Wallace Society's Diversity Team.

The most recent post is a list of scholarly pieces by women about DFW - some great stuff in this list!

Also worth having a look at is Nina Berman's, In Response to “One Woman, Who Loves DFW, Talks”.

Apologies for all the Wallace related things I missed posting earlier in the year... one of them was the release of the special David Foster Wallace Issue of Orbit from pynchon.net. Well worth your time.

Yesterday Orbit published Adam Kelly's response to the paper from the special issue by Edward Jackson and Joel Nicholson-Roberts.

Super interesting.

Read them both here:

White Guys: Questioning Infinite Jest's New Sincerity, Edward Jackson and Joel Nicholson-Roberts.

David Foster Wallace and New Sincerity Aesthetics: A Reply to Edward Jackson and Joel Nicholson-Roberts, Adam Kelly.
