Thanks for the ping! Glad you found my site (and others) useful. Wish you’d been around for Infinite Summer, when all that DFW/IJ interpretive work got done. Reading IJ in a month – well, that’s a serious month of reading. Best to you!

Yeah, I had a similar reaction to the end. Actually, I was over a hundred pages from the end when I realized there was no way DFW could possibly wrap up all the dozens of loose ends. At then very end I wondered where the rest of the book was, the ‘what happened to so-and-so’ parts. It felt so unfinished I was left empty and unsatisfied, which might have been the point…
