Steven Moore reports on _The Pale King_ by David Foster Wallace:

"Happy to report Gaddis is mentioned in David Foster Wallace's new novel,
The Pale King. On page 73 of a faux-foreword, the author writes:

My dream was of becoming an immortally great fiction writer à la Gaddis or
Anderson, Balzac or Perec, & c.

Interesting grouping. The novel, by the way, is spectacular so far.
Steve"
