david foster wallace interview you've probably already read

[Keith McMullen]

I was all excited when I saw that a fellow Illini had written a piece  
on the Illinois State Fair so I bought the collection of essays in  
which it was found and I tried so hard to like it but it really  
sucked. It was a true Pynchonian essay. Shitty and trite. And the  
Illinois State Fair is such a great subject for an essay. I haven't  
completely given up on Infinite jest but I'm pretty close. perhaps  
I'll give it another crack after I finish Blood Meridian which is  
truly satisfying. It is however making me think bad things whenever I  
bounce a baby on my knee.
