ITT: You attempt to be edgy and cool by comparing Wallace to Franzen or Palahniuk without offering a substantive alternative.

I didn't think much of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men but I'm enjoying Infinite Jest.

first of all, the guy is a straight up shitty, mannered writer. his prose is overblown bullshit.

second, he has nothing to say.

Infinite Jest is a great book. Parts of the Pale King are good. A few of his essays are great, but his short stories are not good.

Entertaining and well done unwieldy messes. Just put your brain into it. Its less painful than reading Delilo.

He far outclasses franzen and palahniuk, anybody who claims otherwise has no ear. Of course he has bad habits and some of his stylistic philosophy may be off the mark
