Good Old Neon: pseudo rambling? An egotistical tragedy? A sincere and thoughtful cry for help?
What did you think of it Veeky Forums
try reading a book, attention-spanlet
It's a work that only grows more disturbingly relevant as the 21st century continues. One of DFW's finest hours. Ending kinda makes me wanna cry
Can I get a spoiler? What's it about? How does it end? I'm more than likely never going to read it but I've heard this sentiment from others.
Come on man it's literally a short story
Just read it, man. Your attention span will be grateful
don't bother DFW is trash.
Read it. It’s about communications, fraudulence, and suicide (not a spoiler). It’s the one DFW I push if someone asks about him.

Fucking degenerates. Pro tip: strive for what is beyond
What's beyond?
