Andrew Warren!

This was actually kind of an agonizing decision, which is why I took
longer than I originally intended.  I really really liked Brandon
Hobson's piece, but ultimately concluded (again, after much agonizing)
that it couldn't be fairly called a legitimate parody: it's just very
good writing in DFW's style.  I also really liked Casey Anderson's
piece, and how it poked fun at DFW's footnoting (and generally, DFW's
digressive mode).  But it lost by a nose to Andrew's piece, which I
thought had more comic flair and poked through the fourth wall in a
fresh way that parodied DFW very very well.

So, first prize of an Advance Reader's Copy of Oblivion goes to
Andrew; an advance teaser of Consider the Lobster goes to Casey; and
Brandon gets an honorable mention and my genuine exhortation to
continue writing, in DFW's mode or others.

Thanks,
