The unfinished DFW

There’s a really interesting and quite thorough profile/article on David Foster Wallace online at the New Yorker.

Also on the site is Wiggle Room, an excerpt from his unfinished novel.

The Reptile Garden

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

The Reptile Garden was the fiction piece in The New Yorker a few issues back. I read the short story on the plane to Florida and loved it. I love it when The New Yorker introduces me to writers that I haven’t heard of or read before, like Marisa Silver and now Louise Erdrich. The story really stuck with me, so I thought I would share it with anyone who might be interested. Also, for you Minnesotans, the author Louise Erdrich owns a small independent bookstore in Minneapolis called BirchBark Books.
