Author David Foster Wallace found dead, 46
CNN Story
This is a huge blow to the literary community. He was 46 years old and teaching English! I can't imagine what might have led a wide-acknowledged genius of writing to "apparently" commit suicide. I'm personally not an authority of his published works, but I've read bits and pieces of essays that he'd written and Infinite Jest has been sitting on my shelf, begging to be read. Perhaps now I'll jump it to the top of the queue. Jam it back in, in the dark. And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected." - John Steinbeck  |

I also can't imagine what led someone who made a career writing about chronic depression to commit suicide. It is baffling.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
