Back in Highgate, to read the shocking news that David Foster Wallace, author of Infinite Jest, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, has hanged himself.
Zero coverage on the BBC, or even the Guardian. I know he’s an American author and it’s a Sunday, but even so. Come on BBC, if you can report today that Kazakhstan has bought the rights to The Vicar of Dibley, you can flipping well manage a sentence or two to mark Mr Wallace’s passing. He’s hardly obscure.
Just as well I subscribe to 3AM:
