I've been reading about this guy since his death, and I confess, I'd never read any of his writing before. He strikes me as a painfully honest and deeply human writer. Thanks for the video Joe (I share and sympathize with his take on tourism/vacations) and thanks for the link to the commencement address Shaun. I know what I'll be looking for on my next trip to the library..

“I know depression. I wish him peace in his eternal rest.”

Amen.

Thank you, Joe.

To add another pebble to the pile, this remains my favorite Wallace moment:

It (again) moved me deeply for its simple truths.
