There's a little summary piece over at Publishers Weekly, What Do The Pale Kings Four New Scenes Add? that covers the new scenes from the paperback release of The Pale King:
The question of whether these scenes are worth reading seems beside the
point, because you probably already know if 23 pages of unfinished,
vagrant David Foster Wallace writing is something youll be interested
in reading. The scenes, like the rest of The Pale King,
primarily function as texts to be examined and parsed. But Wallace fans
(and this goes double for the Wallace fans whove already read through The Pale King)
will enjoy contemplating their spot in the books grand design. And,
yes, to answer your question: there are moments of wonderful Wallace
prose.
