Blog Post #2- Disguises Abound | Louis's Weblog

https://timesnine.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/blog-post-2-disguises-abound

Blog Post #2- Disguises Abound. As we discussed yesterday, secrecy is seemingly an important part of Wallace’s narrative. Whether it is Ken hiding behind his drawn shades, or Hal getting high in the pump room, a false guise seems to be the status quo. While this seems perfectly understandable in regard to drug use, Wallace extends this secrecy to other parts of life. Recalling the Shakespearean connection of this work, it certainly appears that in the O.N.A.N, “All the world’s a s...Wallace’s listi...

Blog Post#6: Simple Melancholy | Louis's Weblog

https://timesnine.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/blog-post6-simple-melancholy

Blog Post#6: Simple Melancholy. The return of Kate Gompert’s depression seems like a rather significant section in that it reveals more of Wallace’s view of depression problems. Also, the fact that the problem can result from a head injury as much as it can happen naturally is a terrifying prospect. Himself’s reasons are not clear, and we cannot even make guesses. It is ultimately too problematic. August 12, 2009. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Blog Post #4: Why pursue happiness? | Louis's Weblog

https://timesnine.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/blog-post-4-why-pursue-happiness

Blog Post #4: Why pursue happiness? So in reading many of the reviews of. This obviously connects to the idea of a positive addiction that we have broached. Can the withdrawal once we reach that goal be dangerous? Schtitt views the hard route as the more successful one. However, is he correct? Steeply understands the allure even knowing the side effects: “You’ve never been even slightly tempted? To see what’s all the fuss, the irresistible pull of the thing? Obviously, Eschaton is an important sequence t...

Blog Post#5: Irish Luggage everywhere | Louis's Weblog

https://timesnine.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/blog-post5-irish-luggage-everywhere

Blog Post#5: Irish Luggage everywhere. Well, this section of the reading is certainly chock full of happenings. We have John N.R. Wayne (of Homo Duplex fame) having a late night role play with Moms. Also, we have Gately manhandling some gentlemen and suffering a bullet wound. However, the most interesting section for me has to be Randy Lenz’s nighttime activities. Is Wallace once again vindicating the entity of AA? Is it worth suffering if the goal is worthwhile? P 548 USA style incarnate? August 11, 2009.

Since I have read. Ended up being a tool for me to once again question my own perceptions and expand upon them. I have never been a big fan of the postmodern bag of tricks. I try to enjoy them, but often I am left wanting more from the narrative itself. Although. I had a difficult time framing up the novel until I reached the Marathe/Steeply section. However, when I read their discourse, everything began to make more sense. I think with this logic in my mind, I felt a little embarrassed to pay so much at...

Thinking about Hal | Louis's Weblog

https://timesnine.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/thinking-about-hal

I may have been a little harsh in my feelings about poor Hal Incandenza earlier. As I was driving home, a song came on that reminded me of his story. Now I don’t want to be one of those people who connects the dots haphazardly, but I think there is some nice correlation here. Also, the singer of this song committed suicide by drug overdose before this song and album was released. And, he (Nick Traina) was the son of Danielle Steele. She actually wrote a biography about him after his passing.
