Teaching Infinite Jest

I was looking for some inspiration to guide discussion, and stumbled upon this, a small passage by a colleague of Wallace's teaching a class on Wallace post-suicide.

  1. Here, also is the student blog for the course, which is pretty good:

  2. Wow, what a cool class. I would have loved to take it. I started checking out the student blog, but I'm too afraid of spoiling anything for myself that I might have to skip to the beginning or wait until I finish the book to actually delve into it!

  3. I cannot believe how much of or maybe DFW's life is somewhat related to Infinite Jest.
