The Howling Fantods

The Best American Essays 2007 edited by David Foster Wallace

I finally checked my email and discovered that DFW is the editor of the upcoming The Best American Essays 2007 published Oct 10 this year. It will be very interesting to see what essays are included and hopefully there'll be an introduction written by him. (Thanks Kyösti and Steve!)

Uncollected DFW Page Updated

Matt has been doing a great job maintaining the Uncollected DFW page and it has been updated with some great pdf files of unavailable DFW texts. Of particular note is 'Crash of '69' which Matt has wonderfully restored.

A new DFW novel?

Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:46 New Fiction

While the site was down for an extended period a few weeks back word got around for an event held in Italy last year where a number of authors got together to read and discuss their fiction, DFW was there. For long time DFW fans it comes as no surprise to hear he is working on something a bit longer than short fiction.

Bibliography and Uncollected DFW Update

Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:23 General Updates

Thanks to the amazing work of Ryan, Matt, George, and numerous other people behind the scenes there has been a flurry of work on the DFW Bibliography. Ryan's BibTex DFW Bibliography has just made revision 5 and it is a beauty. It surpassed the old bibliography here at the Fantods a long time ago, and now sits at the top of the bibliography page. The best thing is that there is much more to come!

Just as exciting is the side project maintained by Matt and hosted here, The Uncollected DFW. This is an extensive list of uncollected DFW works, some of which have been scanned and are available as pdf files from outside this site! Enjoy!

On a side note, if you are interested in submitting DFW related resources to the site, have an idea, or just have the time to track down broken links using archive.org etc drop me a line, here.
