Thank you for posting the quote. I found the speech online (http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/sep/20/fiction http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/sep/20/fiction) and read it, it's incredible. And saddening, considering the fact that DFW probably succumbed to the negative feelings he was warning against here.
