Wallace Re: authors under the influence

[pynchonoid]

I tend to think I find plenty of tedium in everyday
life, without having to search out more in a book or
museum. 

Next time I'm feeling bored, or boring somebody else,
I'll just morph the experience into conceptual art. 
"Hey, I feel better already! I'm not bored, I'm an
artist!"

Given the wildly conflicting opinions re Wallace, he
must be doing something right, so I'll look at his
stuff again.  First there will be Against the Day to
deal with, after getting Les Bienveillantes out of the
way.
