> As someone who has struggled with lifelong depression, I still didn't recognize anything familiar in his description of watching hours of television a day Since I wrote elsewhere that I feel DFW's writing captures depression well, this might be a good place to clarify: I don't mean that his characters act the way I might act when I'm depressed, except maybe in caricature. I mean he writes in a way I might think about things when I'm depressed. To put it another way, I don't agree with much of what he has to say, yet it resonates.
