David Foster Wallace 1962-2008

One of my favorite authors, and probably one of the great modern philosophers of our time, David Foster Wallace, has died. He hanged himself in his house and was found by his wife. He will be missed.

I’ll leave with you with the text of the Kenyon University commencement address he gave. This address, along with his novel, Infinite Jest, was a profound influence on my outlook on life. Read his commencement text Here.
