Confirmed excerpts from 'The Pale King':

- Backbone - The New Yorker, March 7 2011 (This is one of the Lannan Foundation fragments, see below)
Possible excerpts form The Pale King (pure speculation, but based on DFW's reference to them as fragments):
Update: Yes indeed, early excerpts from The Pale King.
- Three fragments from a longer thing available as an audio reading by DFW and a transcribed pdf.
