Listen Later

Our week 11 reading is dominated by a long phone call, so it seems somehow fitting, even thematically appropriate, that we, as always, meet up with our friends to discuss it telephonically.

Topics of discussion
  • "The sated ghost cannot see secret things"
  • The unusual bodies of Infinite Jest
  • More Hamlet parallells
  • Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton/"It was a dark and stormy night"
    • See also

    • Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest: 2019 winners
    • Lyttle Lytton Contest: 2019 winners
    • The New York Times: Roger Federer as Religious Experience by David Foster Wallace (2006)

      • We'll be reading pages 270–283 next week.
