In a recent review of DFW's new collection of nonfiction essays, Both Flesh and Not, D.T. Max -- staff writer for The New Yorker and author of Every Love Story is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace -- makes several references to Don DeLillo.
Specifically, Max mentions the DD-DFW correspondence, which I plan to sift through in the spring when I visit the Harry Ransom Center in Austin. (This correspondence, I'm sure, has yet to receive the attention it deserves.)
This review is also particularly interesting to me because Max, drawing on T.S. Eliot's dedication to Ezra Pound in The Waste Land, refers to DeLillo as Wallace's "miglior fabbro."
Here's the link:
Enjoy!
