david foster wallace interview you've probably already read

[Carvill John]

Thanks for that, hadn't read it. Just started Infinite Jest this weekend. 
I'm about 100 pages in and I don't know whether I'm going to (a) race 
through the rest of the book, love it, recommend it to whoever will listen, 
or (b) drop-kick it over the hedge into my least favourite neighbour's 
greenhouse. The interview produces the same ambivalence, the whole thing 
reads like one of his interminable footnotes, a sort of arch parody of 
lit-crit pretentiousness. And if he used the term 'recursion' just one more 
time I think I'd have to track him down and give him a slap.
