Is it possible to miss someone you’ve never met? In the two years that I’ve been reading David Foster Wallace—author of the mammoth novel Infinite Jest, three volumes of shorter fiction and many works of journalism and criticism—I’ve come to develop a bizarrely personal relationship with a man who killed himself before I had even read a page of his stuff.”

“I miss the thoughtful, calm, critical thinking of someone I didn’t know but have come to miss.”
