back of the book


DFW is my Bible.

Not really. But his work is packed so very densely with meaning, it really does feel like consulting a sage sometimes.

I've only mentioned him around the house two or three times in the past year because whenever I say his name, my partner gets visibly jealous. ^_~

(He shouldn't be.)

That, up there. That, from a man who hung himself. Makes me wonder if true love for humanity is incompatible with enjoyment of dwelling in its midst ("it" being that mindless, helmless, ever-crashing sea of people). Everywhere I look, love and fear comingle and intertwine, feeding on each other like AURYN in the hands of the Childlike Empress.
