I won’t be blogging over the weekend; I’ve been very kindly invited by the folks at the University of Arizona’s literary journal, Sonora Review, to participate in a day of readings commemorating David Foster Wallace. (I contributed a remembrance of Wallace to the journal’s upcoming double issue, devoted to Wallace’s memory.) I’ll probably write at least a little about the event after I get back, early next week. Watch some good movies while I’m gone. Some images from a new DVD of a picture I’m extremely excited to see in this format will be popping up here over the time I’m away, to keep you at least a little entertained.
A short break

Have a good trip. Sounds like a fascinating event.
I shall be watching many films this weekend. Whether they’re any good or not is up to fate, though I’ll continue to make my puzzled, oddly fascinated way through Bresson, with THE DEVIL, PROBABLY.
Given the jauntiness of your prose, I would have found and enjoyed this site anyway. But the DFW presence cements the link. Your long commentary on editing his work was a keeper and I’m eager to read more.
I live in Phoenix and wish I could have gotten down to be a part of this. It’s bitterly ironic that U of A is doing this considering the English department basically took a shit on DFW up until his first book was published. I guess late to the party is better than not bothering to show up at all.
I hope it went well.
