David Foster Wallace
Haven't seen anything on DU about him but then I'm not looking all day at posts. So I thought this would be a good place to say something.

I found him to be an incredible writer. Beyond the ordinary. Infinite Jest, which I read all the way through, is a novel with staying power. Jon Carroll, at the SFGate wrote a nice tribute to him today.

RIP, David. My heart aches with the pain you felt.

1. It's a sad loss, to be sure
There was a thread in LBN, but it's dropped off of the front page by now. There's also a brief one in the Fiction Forum.

Very sad.
