David Foster Wallace hanged himself on Friday, September 12th.
- Wallace once posited in a piece in The Atlantic Monthly that there should be a ceiling on the level of things worth dying for.
- Wallace also believed that Irony1 "hinders and complicates authentic communication in fiction and culture as a whole."2
Discuss.
