For me, I can only read DFW short stories. I love his writing, but, like a very rich dessert, I prefer limited to large amounts.

- mplanchard 7y agoFor the GP, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men is a great collection of short stories and a nice way to get introduced to Wallace without having to go whole hog into something like Infinite Jest. That being said, I also very much enjoyed his first novel, The Broom of the System. It’s an easier read than Infinite Jest. I don’t think it’s as good as IJ, but it’s definitely got a lower barrier to entry.
