Dear David Foster Wallace,
When I saw your author photo on the back of my cover of Infinite Jest I judged that you and I probably wouldn't like each other. There is an argument to be made that the novel itself was a tad bit overblown and in need of some editing, but it is not an argument I will make. You took me on a grueling and enjoyable literary ride which I will forever appreciate. It kinda sucks you hanged yourself.
