hi Ike, saw that you're still publishing your thoughts & still smiling , tho not here on SI ... David Foster Wallace: " Here is the truth- actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one. No one queues up to see it. No one is interested." iqballatif.newsvine.com Richard Rayner in the Los Angeles Times writes that The Pale King subjects are "loneliness, depression and the ennui that is human life's agonized bedrock, 'the deeper type of pain that is always there, if only in an ambient low-level way, and most which most of us spend nearly all of our time and energy trying to distract ourselves from' [quoting Wallace] ... The Pale King dares to plunge readers deep into this Dantean hell of 'crushing boredom,' suggesting that something good may lie beyond." [9] cheers , hold onto that spark ! ;o)
