Jon Weigand was very kind to share with me his “director’s cut” of the video report he made last spring for Arizona Public Media covering the University of Arizona Tucson’s memorial for David Foster Wallace, an event I was extremely honored to participate in. It is embedded below; I think it’s a very good, informative piece. The embed seems to run a little glitchy in the first thirty seconds or so, but it gets better!

Dear Mr. Kenny,
maybe you know this already, but if not it might be interesting to know that the 1600+ pages german translation sold 65000 hardcover copies this year.
Best wishes
My only encounter with Wallace was the Lynch article he wrote for Premiere (one of the best ever), perhaps it’s time for me to get my ass in gear and read his novels. Thanks for sharing Glenn.
