This here redneck thinks that DFW's early collection of short stories, "Girl
with Curious Hair" is his best work.

I couldn't read Broom of the System and I haven't llike much else of what 
he's written, the stories ...  Some of his essays are good, the long one
about

But I really liked Infinite Jest.
