The literary world was hit with the shocking news this weekend of the passing of a writer of rare brilliance. Widely respected author David Foster Wallace committed suicide at his home in Claremont, California, on Friday night.
And I still hadn't read "Infinite Jest."

shocking news! I love "infinite jest"... 2008 turned out to be a dreadful year for great writers... first Thomas Disch, now Foster Wallace...
Hunter Thompson's suicide still seems fairly recent to me as well.
