Status Updates From The Pale King

i will not work for the Internal Revenue Service

I don't believe that Pale King was near completion when DFW committed suicide. Had he lived, I wouldn't be surprised if 2/3rds of what I've read would be deleted. There are moments of brilliance which remind readers (and lovers of IJ) that DFW was perhaps the most talented writer of the late 20th century, but there is no plot and the artistic expression of illustrating boredom in an IRS office is just that - boring.

So far he got picked up from the peoria transit center and has almost made it through first day orientation.

splendid!

Possibly the most unique book ever.
