Have you read David Lipsky's "Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself" or seen The End of the Tour? It may not change your opinion of DFW much, but it shows what it was like trying to get answers from him on some of the stuff you mentioned (not the ethics stuff as much as what his style means, maybe).
