The story of a classroom hostage situation in which the narrator is caught daydreaming.
This story was originally published in AGNI in 2003.
This was a long read, and there are definitely some mistakes: missed and mis-spoken words throught.
You can find a link to the story here: electricliterature.com/the-so...
Let me know if there is something that you'd like to hear next!

When we needed him the most, he disappeared

He didn't "disappear". RIP. What exactly did you need the most that DFW could have provided?

This is personally honestly one of his best short stories, if not his best. Close second would be “Little expressionless animals”.

It's literally life-changing. Probably what I'd share with people if they asked for a single representation of his work.

Incredible work. To get this together and present it to a devoted audience shows your efforts. Great read.

Ultimately, this story is about the nature of work on the psyche and soul.

Thank you so much for this. You are a great narrator.

Could you please read some more short stories? This is the best way for me to be able to read Wallace at work by far.

@Pallettown Год назад

That’s awesome. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I could do some from Girl With Curious Hair. Thanks for listening!

On second thought, it's way too much work to do "Infinite Jest." Looking forward to your writing.😊
