David Foster Wallace mailing list members over at wallace-l (myself included) are about to embark on a group read of DFW's 1989 short story collection, Girl With Curious Hair. Kindly coordinated by George Carr (Hi, George!), the stories are being tackled in reverse order because we all want to start with the novella that concludes the collection, Westward The Course Of The Empire Takes Its Way.
Discussion about Westward begins on March 29 - so if you're interested I encourage you to grab a copy of the book if you don't already have one, then sign up to wallace-l and participate.
