The Howling Fantods

Well... Almost... if you discover a broken link or things go weird please let me know here. :)

Things should be significantly faster now, and everything looks a little cleaner.

Accounts will be re-enabled soon, and with that commenting and a few other membership features.

I'm still adjusting the look and moving things around, it's not final yet, but good enough to run with.

Thanks for visiting.

There's now an interactive index of the people, places and things in Infinite Jest over at Small Worlds (registration required). It's quite a spectacular, and visual, look at the cultural references in Infinite Jest.

(While we're talking indexes, don't forget about Tim Ware's Online IJ Index.)

I'm enjoying Conversations with David Foster Wallace considerably thus far. Stephen Burn's introduction and chronology are a worthy (and at times enlightening) opening to the collection and some of the early interviews are ones I've never read (one of the problems of maintaining this site from Australia is not having access to libraries with some of the print only material I'd love to get my hands on).

I can't wait to get home so I can get my teeth stuck into the expanded 1993 Larry McCaffery interview from the Review of Contemporary Fiction, An Interview with David Foster Wallace.
