Matt Bucher visited the Harry Ransom Center foyer today and took some pics of the four items on display with his iPhone (So jealous over here, Matt!) Currently on display are the cover page from the first two sections of Infinite Jest, a notebook of typescript pages from IJ, annotated galley of the Borges Bio DFW reviewed, and a poem about vikings DFW wrote when he was young(!). Thanks for heading over and taking the pics, Matt. Also, here's a similar article to yesterday's from U Texas with a different picture - this one shows corrections to IJ for the paperback release. | | No comments for this item |

I've been holding off making further comments about this (fantastic) book until I post some neat little things later this month, but I'll just mention one little thing to stave off those calls for more info. David Lipsky follows DFW everywhere over the five days, including to one of his Prose Classes. As a teacher myself, it was electrifying to read about his teaching style and technique. Lispsky writes: He paces around the classroom. Happy, energetic. At one point, thinking, he even drops into a quick knee bend. Class laughs; they really like him. | | This item includes 1 comment |

It's been a busy few days, so here's a collection of DFW stuff from around the web.
- Ryan Walsh has updated his David Foster Wallace Audio Project archive page with some new pieces - certainly worth checking out if you have missed some of the audio bits and pieces that have appeared around the web the last few months (and particularly if you'd like them in nice self contained mp3 format). Cheers, Ryan.
(Thanks to Matt, everyone over at wallace-l, and Ryan for keeping an eye on the web this past couple of weeks.) | | No comments for this item |

Hatchette Book Group are advertising that the original David Foster Wallace recording (and video it seems...) of This is Water will be available to purchase from the 1st of May. If this is the commencement speech video (no word yet if it is) this is pretty exciting news! Update: Thanks go to artistic snorkel for this YouTube link to a clip of the original commencement speech audio! | | This item includes 4 comments |
