The lady after him who gets in "arguments with her father" sounds like someone who has needed a short stay or two as well.

I find it sad that Dave didn't include 'Soul is not a smithy' as a piece of 'The Pale King'. It clearly belongs in that work! I think it shows how muddled he was about 'his third book' from the period after publishing Infinite Jest to his suicide. He couldn't seem to wrangle the disparate stories into a collective narrative; and yet, the idea that runs behind all these stories (boredom, adult life, mundanity, paying attention, the intimate internal life that is usually unspoken) is the link.

Is it safe to make a connection between athletics and aggression? Competative sports has the capability to release an athlete but the politics drags the individual back into the thick. I think the intensity may have found a way to empty a floatation device. If DFW never played sports do you think he would still harm himself? I do not think it is a joke when someone talks about doing something harmful and somehow succeeded by doing what he says? Sadly, that is righteous to someone observing and judging with a different lens.
