- Eugenides continues to insist that Leonard isn’t based on DFW. He is either being disingenuous now or sloppy then. Did he really not expect people to associate—whether or not he intended any resemblance—a depressive bandana-wearing chew-chewer with DFW? Either way it’s odd. (Salivagate: Never Forget.)
- This piece in New York about Eugenides/Franzen/DFW/ et al. is worth reading. Wallace sends Franzen a letter that says, “You seem so mad at me. Why do you want to be my friend?”
- Don’t let your excitement be soured by my little gripes, though: The Marriage Plot was a pleasure to read.
