The David Show: More on Lipsky's DFW
Monday, 12 July 2010
Peter Ames Carlin writes about AOCYEUBY over at his blog in The David Show: More on David Lipsky's David Foster Wallace:
 
It's not like Lipsky doesn't know what's going on. DFW is flirting with him, subject-to-journalist. DFW is extremely flattered by the attention -- despite all of his better intentions -- and is extremely, almost dysfunctionally, eager to see himself look cool in the pages of Rolling Stone. Lipsky offers these observations in brackets, along with his own self-lacerating notes about his own behavior and motivations. He's got a tremendous writer crush on this guy, who is almost exactly his age, has almost all of the same experiences but is just. . . better, in nearly every way.
