thank you for making this channel
@@hdcbpxsytahdcbpx my pleasure. Thanks for listening!
i dont know anymore but television used to be one of the most watched of all household appliances..
It does not matter to me that you mispronounce words because you speak with a Canadian accent. I am grateful that you uploaded this masturpiece by Dallas Fort Worth.
Thank you for making this, I really enjoy it.
@@user-rx1lc6mp5n thank you for listening!
*SPOILER ALERT* For a while, I was stuck on the detail of the tax extension. I suspected his wife had something to do with it because they seemed to be having money issues.
I have tried to share this multiple times over the years and to very intelligent people. DFW doesn't lend himself to audio. He was forever a reader...and I respect the endeavor to seek him out in his preferred medium.😊
Etc. = 'etcetera' cicadas, calliope - I just can't
Brilliant talk - how he loops the futile struggle to interpret or assign meaning to art back to Kafka's very own themes is so satisfying. Though I would say "Ms. O'Connor" (assuming he's referring to Flannery O'Connor) is one of the closest American storytellers to Kafka's interpretation and usage of humor.
one of my faves by dusty i listen to your reading when i work out
@@AM-is1jh wow that’s awesome! Thanks for listening :)
Thanks for this reading. Great material, good voice, well edited, no fumbles. I did hear some mis-pronunciations. Not sure how DF Wallace would have felt about that - he was quite a stickler for language . . . The words I caught as being pronounced incorrectly are: pince-nez, christen, epaulettes, cadre, respite, acoustic, serape, puerile, pedantry, bow, scheme, picayune, crepe From this list you can surmise that I listened carefully to your entire recording, some parts twice, so accept that as a compliment for your efforts. Thanks again!
@@oldnewsclipster thanks for listening and the feedback!
rest in peace. the internet as it is right now wouldve drove him insane
Yes, but I'm still slightly annoyed he has deprived me of his unwritten works. It looks like he would have a lot more material to work with now. His prophecies were observations drawn to their logical conclusions.
IDK whether DFW was appalled or attracted to these characters. I suspect he wasn’t appalled enough.
Hell ya. That's some dam good science fiction
@@blackdiamond9636 agreed!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you for the reading!
@@sabasadr9060 thank you for listening!

Hell yeah! Favorite narrator reading one of my favorite authors
Thank you!
Listened to a podcast that was talking about this article and wanted to hear it for myself before I went any further. So glad I was able to come to YT and listen to it right away. Thank you
Thanks for listening!
Thank you for these narrations. I found you through Wallace and have enjoyed many of the short stories you’ve read.
Thanks for listening! I really appreciate. Many more to come hopefully :)
Good 👍
Thank you! Thanks for listening!
Thank you sir, I like your narrations; and thank you for bringing this beautiful story to my attention.
Thanks for listening!
David Foster Wallace has an amazing ability to work words into all kinds of interesting shapes and sizes.
You're awesome.
Thank you! My very first super thanks! You’re awesome 😊
It,s about Elixabeth Wurtzel
Your reading is fantastic! Thank you 🙏 love this one. Always been a hugggge DeLillo fan, I'm too stupid for Pynchon and I'm too full of myself to enjoy DFW. But DeLillo really hits the spot for me - though I can usually only read/ listen for a few pages at a time. He gets so in my head 😅 it's a bit unnerving realizing how predictable I am because we share this American blood.
Thanks for listening!
Wow Native Companion rocks!
This is so powerful. It hurts. Incredible writing gets inside you. Like a waking dream state. Thank you.
Thanks for listening!
I can't stand "quote / end quote"
i appreciate it when Lynch takes risks and mixes novel with absurd fiction and visual horror, but he abused his creative freedom in twin peaks, like an architect in dubai given unlimited budget who built a house's shell out of sand and no rooms. In contrast, Inland Empire seemed to contain all the creative turns that Lynch wanted to take, but didn't lead the viewer in a fruitless quest for a plot. Twin Peaks sold us a plot and delivered nothing, and we bought it for too long.
What I find really interesting upon listening to this, which didn't occur to me when I read it many years ago, is how DFW clearly invests deeply in the things that, he says, Lynch does not care about. For example, Lynch has no care at all to jockey for status in Hollywood, and yet DFW discusses at length his own personal power rankings of directors. In other words, his detailed definition of what is Lynchian omits the simple fact that he himself is not Lynchian, nor is his work, and perhaps that's why he's the ideal ethnographer of Lynch and his oeuvre.
Thanks! I appreciate this <3
Thanks for listening!
Thanks for posting. I live around an hour away from Bloomington/normal, and as someone too young to remember, this article was a really interesting perspective.
My pleasure!
Thanks so much

Thanks dude. I love your stuff.
Thanks for listening!
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. I have briefly joined a conga line. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
This channel is gold. Thank you very much for doing this. If possible; try reading some longer journalistic essays or stories. Could be interesting. Like the ones written by patrick radden keefe, and Sinatra has a cold like you did before
Thank you! I’ll add it to the list!
Awesome reading. Have you thought about doing some Pale King? Maybe the Chris Fogle monologue?
Thank you 🙂 I’ll definitely add it to the list, I loved that book!
You are the only voice besides Wallace himself that I am willing to hear read Wallace. Do you have an Instagram or other social platform?
Thanks I appreciate that. Not really at the moment, this is mostly it. Maybe if my audience becomes bigger I may.
