David Foster Wallace makes me want to write so much fiction! And I suck at writing fiction. (My last attempt at it was a story about a bird who speaks in a Southern accent and its stalker raccoon who speaks in a faux-Shakespearean manner. Enough said.)

When I say David Foster Wallace inspires me, I actually mean that this article in the New Yorker about him inspires me. I have already read this article twice.

I mean, he was compulsively second-guessing everything he wrote! And he was interested in characters who do extremely boring work, and how out of that work they suck meaning into their lives! I am also interested in these things! Wow!
