Even though I enjoy his work as well, Wallace is just a modern-day Barthelme imitator. Barthelme's "Me and Miss Mandible" is one of the five greatest pieces of post-war short fiction, period. jessamyn.com p2c2e.org I've always loved the stories "The Captured Woman", p2c2e.org "The School" npr.org as well as "The President" (no link available). Not a lot of exciting, groundbreaking writers out there these days... a lag effect of a too-long bull market. The exceptions are Lydia Davis, Ray Vukcevich, Nicholson Baker, William Gass, and quite a few others that I haven't discovered yet.
