But can we talk about how DFW did not kill himself because he reached some kind of point of existential despair? I see this shit all the time, people saying stuff on the Internet like "David had a big brain and a big heart...and that unfortunately did him in" or "He paid for that knowledge.." or "He was too good for this world; he saw the pain of this world and couldn't take it." BARF. Give me a break. If David's suicide was his fault in any way, it was hubristic- he thought he could survive making the switch to a more updated medication. People need to read the D.T. Max biography; his life was going in the right direction until he went off Nardil. By all accounts, it's the most disheartening part of his life story- to make all that effort towards meaningful personal change and succeed, only to be shot down by some randomly assigned disease. He wasn't cowardly either. He was just unlucky. It's not like he was the protagonist of Good Old Neon or something.
