    The fake-earnest Midwestern "sincerity" of David Foster Wallace that a generation of babies relates to is the thing I hate most as a writer.

        @BretEastonEllis Didn't you already squeeze some publicity out of this? Maybe it's time to move on.

        @BretEastonEllis underneath all this intellectual anger is a deep sadness and there's nothing ironic abt that I'm afraid

        @BretEastonEllis as one of the tens of people who endured reading lunar park I would suggest you stop referring to yourself as a writer.

        @BretEastonEllis the Southeast has fake sincerity. Midwesterners are really just that sincere and sentimental. Lake Wobegon is real.
