stream-of-conscious literature is much like modern art (and its postmodern and dadaist disgusting variants). because the distinction between narrator, author, and reader are all considered irrelevant -- wut u get as a result is a writer who snowangels in his own shit for hours to years at a time until someone comes by (an edgy, opportunistic publisher looking to capitalize off 'memoir nonfiction' shitfests like david sedaris) and says it smells like curry. basically wallace saw himself as the next confederacy of dunces but with pynchon stream-of-consciousness. you'll literally see thousands of relicas of his 'unique' schtick from every shit-for-brains MFA circlejerk that worships joyce carol oates for being "so independent."

also, stream of consciousness doesn't necessarily blur the distinction between anything. In fact, in most cases it's unambiguously the uninterrupted thoughts of a character.

the scene at the beginning when the kid is being interviewed at USC i think sets the tone of what this book is going to be like. if you don't think it's hysterical, then this shit will be torture. if you do think it's hilarious, then it's a great book imho.

It really is amazing. So easy and fun to read like reading Stephen King, but then it has literary and nabokov-esque style prose and themes tied in with plenty of drugs and sex. Funny as fuck too. Loved reading it the first time so much. I have always heard people hate on the book but idk why, I think its fun. Perhaps it didn't make it to the level of great literature like the author may have intended but its better than any of the other post-the 70s garbage out there.

I think there are clear factions now. Positions have hardened. Once a year some poaster actually reads the book and bumps these threads.

The people who hate it have never actually read it.
