'Jump over the wall of self and inhabit someone else'

The late great US writer David Foster Wallace on empathy and imagination. I wish he were here with us now, but I'm so grateful for his life and work and integrity

I did a talk at the #DavidFosterWallace conference in Gettysburg in 2024. It was about the character of Gerhardt Schtitt in #InfiniteJest. But the question that bugged me was about whether Schtitt's philosophy of tennis was fascist.

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Come check out one of our favorite excerpts from one of our favorite novels, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace... It turned out that there was something terribly stressful about visual telephone interfaces that hadn’t been stressful at all about voice-only interfaces. Videophone consumers seemed suddenly to realize that they’d been subject to an insidious but wholly marvelous delusion about conventional voice-only telephony. They’d never noticed it before, the delusion— it’s like it was so emotionally complex that it could be countenanced only in the context of its loss. Good old traditional audio-only phone conversations allowed you to presume that the person on the other end was paying complete attention to you while also permitting you not to have to pay anything even close to complete attention to her.

It's been a few years since I first read this. Still strikes me as poignant and memorable. So few lines painting such an accurate impression of adult life.
#DavidFosterWallace
A radically condensed history of postindustrial Life (by David Foster Wallace) When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove hom alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces. The man who'd introduced them didn't much like either of them, though he acted as if he did, anxious as he was to preserve good relations at all times. One never knew, after all, now did one nod did one now did one.
