"If I fail to adore David Foster Wallace's obsessive, excruciatingly self-aware prose, but each one of his desperate characters gathers around my pillow at night whispering maniacally about tennis and drugs and disfigurement, do I get to call myself a fan?" — Aug 07, 2015 04:22AM

“I had a book of Bible stories when I was a kid. There was a picture I'd look at twenty times every day: Jacob wrestles with the angel. I don't really remember the story, or why the wrestling --just the picture. Jacob is young and very strong. The angel is...a beautiful man, with golden hair and wings, of course. I still dream about it. Many nights. I'm...It's me. In that struggle. Fierce, and unfair. The angel is not human, and it holds nothing back, so how could anyone human win, what kind of a fight is that? It's not just. Losing means your soul thrown down in the dust, your heart torn out from God's. But you can't not lose.”
