    One of the many bad David Foster Wallace ideas/daydreams: reassuring sincerity and a return to earnestness was a virtue for a prose writer.

        @BretEastonEllis The guy won. Even after his death, you're obsessed with him. You're pathetic.

        @BretEastonEllis Isn't it bad Karma or something to slam other writers? Esp dead ones. Esp esp ones who took their own life.

        @pauljimerson @BretEastonEllis i think it's neutral to talk about pretentious dead pricks like David Foster Wallace.

        @BretEastonEllis how dare you write that on the 4 year anniversary of his death? He was a better writer than you will ever be. Tasteless.

        @BretEastonEllis what you're missing is that wallace *failed at earnestness* in his fiction. wallace lost. his life is not a redemptive tale

        @BretEastonEllis earnestness = ernest Hemingway's prose or just plain earnest prose. I vote either.

        @BretEastonEllis you're as much of an asshole as I would predicted TRYING to read your shitty books. #DavidFosterWallace, I just read.

        @BretEastonEllis Guess that is why he thought TV had a stranglehold on the consciousness of our generation. Not sure I believe that
