Was pic related the peak of american intelligentsia?

Why are all those fags who met DFW so super adamant about letting you know that they knew DFW and let him suicide himself?

name dropping I guess

yes

just four guys shooting the proverbial shit at its highest level of concentration

we may go to the stars and beyond but it'll never be like this again

a covert enterprise for dudes throughout time and space having one last scratch at the cat in an era where respect was the most scarce resource there was

Charlie Rose? Yeah he is pretty much the best interviewer of all time.

>you really made me realize what I was missing there user let's just keep it a secret between you and me but you'll always be the one who convinced me out of those higher order self-esteem paradoxes and I'll just be here as well

This is funny. When celebrities let loose on talk shows like Charlie Rose and Howard Stern and talk about all the women they've fucked but then that's basically YA writers all the time

that is an ass to feast upon wtf

not so big on the girl though

chick magnet

>four middle-class straight white males

fucking lol

Women can't write, user

is that zadie smith's ass? i would stuff the shit out of that

no idea

On a semi-related note, Charlie Rose is the GOAT and I'll likely cry when he passes

I love DFW's little man bun

Didn't know he smoked

am I supposed to recognize the bald man?

He smoked ironically

DFW alone, yes
the rest, not so much

He is Thomas Pynchon

>when Leyner has a Paris Review Art of Fiction interview and DFW doesn't

Absolute madness

Who the fuck is Leyner?

The interview in the OP is the only time I have ever heard of him

What is that thing on his left socket?

That's Joathan Franzen, someone who knew DFW but did not prevent his suicide

Apparently he also wrote a book

mechanical pedometer?

Anyway I like his mix of effortless style, and dominant posture.

>The interview has to mention this tv segment with DFW to help give Leyner credibility

by being the biggest brainlet of them all

DUMB PHONEPOSTER

No this was

>tfw he will never interview Pynchon

Wow that leyner got absolutely wrecked, even with hindsight you could see who was qualified for success on this panel...

i just orgasmed looking at this image.

Is Franzen the Rivers Cuomo of literature?

Wrong again, Chicagocuck.

Not American, but a good watch

>that look between DFW and Franzen when Charlie Rose says Infinite Jest is long and complicated "even compared to the Internet"

just watched this last night - amazing

>DFW and Frazen were trolling that was even a thing.
Man, why did someone so cool and so edgy like DFW have to die?

He actually did not.

Kek, yes

you'd have to ask DFW, he's the one who made the decision

tin of chew, it's something tube-sock wearing Illinois folk did in the 90s

Holy shit

no

The league of anti-intellectuals. Don't know why people still read these guys.

Yes they are against ((intellectuals)) and their poisonous cowardice
