Last week, I released the first half and this week’s release is the second part of the wonderful interview with DT Max, who wrote an excellent biography of David Foster Wallace in 2012 called “Every Love Story is a Ghost Story”. If you haven’t listened to the first part, I suggest you start with that to make sure you understand the context. 

List of books mentioned:

Favourite book that I’d never heard of: Harold Brodkey’s: “First Love and Other Sorrows”.

Favourite book of last 12 months: “The Netanyahus”, by Joshua Cohen

Disappointing book of the last 12 months: Janet Malcolm “Still Pictures: On Photography and Memory”

A book that he would take to a desert island: “Infinite Jest” by David Foster Wallace, and “Sentimental Education” by Gustave Flaubert

A book that changed his mind: “The First World War” by John Keegan
