Infinite Jest

David Foster Wallace
DanDan

Really like it when an author interrogates a theme or issue throughout their career and you can see how their opinions either crystallize or stay the same. This is in regards to David Foster Wallace in the short story The Planet Trillaphon… and Kate Gompert from Infinite Jest

Book Cover for: Kindred, Octavia Butler

Kindred

Octavia Butler
DanDan

Yukio Mishima
DanDan

Finally read my first Yukio Mishima book, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea, and I dug it but boy did it make me uncomfortable. Beautiful language throughout but it’s going to make you want to wash yourself in the sea https://t.co/Vylsutjict
