A couple of updates since yesterday... and some more during the day:
Time for a link wrap-up for all the pieces that haven't made it to the front page this month, April 2013:
- Bryan A. Garner is working on a David Foster Wallace book, due this summer. On the 27th of March Garner announced a competition to draw a caricature for the book cover of his DFW interview, which was won by Landon Montgomery. Here is the entry submitted via twitter. (I wonder if it will be a transcript of interviews related to the 'Prior To' one? More when I find out.)
- David Foster Wallace: Waking to Darkness and Lightning over at noir realism. (12/4/13)
- Jordan Gass-Poore's Q&A with D.T. Max for The University Star. (15/4/13)
- New Daniel Matthew Varley's essay for Mockingbird, I Know This Moment To Be True: Some Thoughts on DT Max’s Reading of His Biography of David Foster Wallace. (16/4/13)
- From Biblioklept, Another Paradox - Is Good Old Neon DFW working through an idea from Ludwig Wittgenstein? (21/4/13)
- New David Ball's review for The April 2013 Review of Contemporary Fiction of Stephen J. Burn's. David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader’s Guide (Second Edition) as well as Samuel Cohen and Lee Konstantinou's, The Legacy of David Foster Wallace. (Both essential reads!)
- George Saunders discusses his computer desktop and closes with, I don't own a Kindle. I love carrying a book around. I went to Asia last winter and took Infinite Jest along and got a lot of pleasure just out of lugging it around. (22/4/13)
- Eric Lai's, David Foster Wallace's Misguided Fears About Video Conferencing, an excerpt from his e-book over at Business 2 Community. (24/4/13)

- Erik Estep's, Semi-ode to DFW, for Three Percent. (25/4/13)
- New Vox Popoli's review of Infinite Jest. (25/4/2013) Certainly not the same book I read. Assuming this isn't a parody.
- New Nina Martyris compares the opening and metaphorical devices, of Tolstoy's Hadji Murad and Wallace's The Pale King for The Christian Science Monitor. (26/4/13) [I'm not too impressed with that title... sensationalist much? Thanks to @biblioklept for reminding me of this from 2011, The Pale King’s Opening Lines Vs. Hadji Murad’s Opening Lines.]
