“ A good writer makes the reader feel less lonely. A good writer makes the reader believe in her own feelings—he assures her (through fiction, no less) that whatever it is she’s feeling is True, and not a psychic symptom of being alone.
— Conley Wouters, writing on David Foster Wallace. The entire page of tributes to DFW is wonderful, and good reading for the soul.
