Oh, gosh. I was just telling my wife last week how much I loved Wallace and how much I was looking forward to his (hopefully) contributing to Rolling Stone again in the future. This is sad news. I think he was one of the most gifted writers in modern American fiction.

I read Infinite Jest while I was in the Peace Corps. It was a very time-consuming, difficult book to read. But it was very much worth the work. Thanks for the challenge, DFW. You'll be missed.
