David Foster Wallace: The Pale King

[Robin Landseadel]

	“Junior year, David and I were sitting around talking about
	magical realists—I think it was ‘One Hundred Years of
	Solitude’—and someone said, ‘Pynchon’s much cooler.’ We
	said ‘Who?’ He threw a copy of ‘Lot 49’ at us. For Dave, that
	was like Bob Dylan finding Woody Guthrie.” Wallace also loved
	Don DeLillo’s “White Noise,” which came out when he was a
	senior. . .
