Interesting article over at the New York Observer about two DFW biographies in the works, Dueling Foster Wallace: Two Bios Hit Market, One Sold. One from D. T. Max (The Unfinished) and the other by David Lipsky (The Lost Years & Last Days of David Foster Wallace ).
Interestingly, the D. T. Max one has been sold and the Lipsky one has not. Personally I'm in great anticipation of both of them, but I am surprised Lipsky's has not yet been sold. Particularly when considering the quality, depth, and empathy of his Rolling Stone piece linked above.
I hope they both get published, there's no doubt D. T. Max and Lipsky will present very different perspectives.
