Girl with Curious Hair (Revised) | 
• yeah, i'm reading "Infinite Jest" and thinking it might be a year-long adventure. so maybe a little dip into DFW's short stories might add a little more enjoyment to my life right now? i wrote that with a question mark because he might be one of those authors for which one must acquire a taste. and that's okay. i like those authors the best. •

pickLove this collection of short stories. Found this advanced reader copy today!
pickSo let's talk about why I love Wallace. It is because I can read him in different times and different levels and gain different meanings. Second, because he writes in a way that surpasses vernacular. He spins reality and shows you as a reader why you want your mind to go into that reality. He writes like he knows the great cosmic joke and he is leaving us clues in these wildly real and hilarious and horribly sad stories and tombs. Read this now.
My #shortstoires is read while I put the kids to bed. #somethingforseptember
Taking a much needed break from the insanity that was the debate....... Yikes
Literally the best opening lines to a story I think I have ever seen. #DFWistoogood
I've got a feeling this is going to be a ride!
so-soThis was first experience of DFW fiction and it was mixed. If you want to dip in my favourites were the title story, 'Little Expressionless Animals', 'Lyndon' and 'My Appearance' however 'Westward...' Was a challenging and sometimes painful experience regardless (or because) of how clever it was. It still was enough to get me hooked on the author though!
