Among those of us members of the Writers' Community who graduated this last May, David Foster Wallace was pretty easily the most mocked and mimicked writer. At least a few of us dearly wanted to be him when we grew up.
I just found out that he died this weekend, in an apparent suicide.
I cried when Elliott Smith died, too. I didn't like Elliott Smith as much as I like David Foster Wallace.

I'm going to have to join the club of aspiring writers who had to shed a tear when I read the article. I have not yet read any of his stuff, but have heard so much that I am very sad to hear of this tragedy.
first Vonnegut and now Wallace. Who's next?
