David, my son. You are accomplished author now. You must choose. You pick nice clothes and be remembered as a brilliant diagnostician of postmodern malaise. Or you wear bandana and become a meme on a Zimbabwean Pottery Forum [...]

lmfao if you think DFW is a brilliant diagnostician of postmodern malaise and not a fucking hack who killed himself when he felt people were about to realize how his whole gimmick was a fraud, you need to get off the computer and engage with real postmodern literature, like BEE

Is this a joke

DFW wrote the way he thought actual authors wrote, and of course it turned out pompous, overblown & deeply insincere. His particular brand of pseudo-intellectual pretentiousness, sentimental kitsch, and mawkish musings is physically revolting to anyone who isn't a literal retard.

I don't believe that anyone who would write this could have engaged seriously with his writing

As Bret Easton Ellis said, David Foster Wallace's only positive contribution to literature was killing himself.

I can understand criticism of DFW, but BEE is a totally vacuous writer. Whether or not that is the point hardly matters
