    Reading D.T. Max's bio I continue to find David Foster Wallace the most tedious, overrated, tortured, pretentious writer of my generation...

        @BretEastonEllis Bret, your therapist can probably explain the term "projection" to you at your next session. #bretellis #seethingenvy

        @BretEastonEllis Yes, isn't it terrible when a writer both thinks and tries?

        @Missouri_Review @BretEastonEllis Almost as terrible as when trying and failing is trumpeted as success simply because it seems thoughtful.

        @therealtinasky @BretEastonEllis So, it's better to not think at all than to fail at it? Ah, there lies success: arrayed against ambition.

        @Missouri_Review @BretEastonEllis No, but it's better to cite the failures than to praise solely for ambition #infinitejest #notthestories

        @therealtinasky Might have to disagree that it's a failure. Plus, @BretEastonEllis doesn't seem to be making distinctions in his judgments.

        @Missouri_Review Fair enough, but I rarely see others make distinctions about DFW, either. It's usually all or nothing.
