Quack This Way

This was my intro to DFW after the YA writer essay in Both Flesh and Not. Learned a lot from it.

Two friends, both of them vocational snoots, sat down to film an interview in February 2006. Their subjects: language and writing. The interviewee drove more than an hour, from Claremont to downtown Los Angeles. The interviewer flew from Dallas. They spoke on film for 67 minutes and then walked uphill to a nearby seafood restaurant, where they continued the running conversation they had started five years earlier. They liked each other, and they seemed to understand each other. The rest is history. This is the last long interview with David Foster Wallace.

Good book to get from the library - probably not worth owning.

Simon Elliott Stegall

Interview with DFW by Brian Garner, author of Garner's Dictionary of Modern American Usage which DFW so loved. Fascinating to see that DFW talked with the same vocabulary that he wrote with.

Michael Camilleri

Interesting in places but nothing earth shattering.
