This comes off as one of the more annoying articles I've ever read in my entire life.
- throwanem 10y agoIt's written by a literary academician for other literary academicians. Of course it's enormously verbose and laden with jargon.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoSo of course nobody wants to read it. Which works rather well with the title of the piece...
- bigtunacan 10y agoAfter about two paragraphs I chose not to read it.
- JoelBennett 10y agoI'm glad I'm not the only one.
- hoorayimhelping 10y agoTell me about it: >Coming from a critic, this confession sounds both imperious and ignorant Ugh. Nobody cares about your title or your perceptions on what you should and shouldn't say based on it. How about just state your thesis and let the reader decide how to interpret it. >My small act of countercultural scholarly agency has been to refuse to continue reading or assigning the work of David Foster Wallace. Swerve, academia. We're dealing with a rebel here.
