One of the earlier works by Wallace in which he writes about depression and anti-depressants. Published in the Amherst Review in 1984.
Wallace's signature style is clear in this early work. Many themes about depression are touched on that are also present in some of his other works.
Thanks to a listener for recommending this reading: quomodocumque.files.wordpress...
Let me know if there's something that you'd like to hear next.
One error in this is I got the name of Dr. Kablambus wrong, it is Kablumbus.
Also, the story seems to suddenly cut out at the end: "Except that is just highly silly when you think about what I said before concerning the fact that the Bad Thing is really..." Not sure if it was intended to end like this, or there is another page that is missing. If anyone might have access to this please let me know!
I realized that I’ve been clipping some of the audio with noise reduction processing, and also the volume is low. I’ll fix this for next time!
