LULZ doesn't read dfw anymore?
LULZ doesn't read anymore, especially novels
he is pretty mid
I hate you for being a retarded homosexual that doesn't know shit other than he is popular but at the same time i agree with you
Pale King
Good Old Neon from Oblivion
Consider the Lobster (essay)
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again (essay)
E Unibus Pluram
Thanks you, which one is the best starting point?
Good Old Neon is a short story, so start with that.
After that, read §22 of Pale King. It's a self-contained novella.
The nagger is unbearable. Only a slave could read him and feel anything at all. The high school bullies really did a number on him.
His essay on usage in American English is great. It's from the Consider the Lobster collection I'm pretty sure.
His short short stories are incredible, "The Soul Is Not a Smithy", "Girl with Curious Hair" and "Suicide as a Sort of Present" are some of my favorites.
I haven't read IJ yet (perhaps I'll give it a go this year, I own a copy already)
The short story about the burned baby will fuck you up.
Boku no pico
His three main novels - BotS; IJ; TPK - are all that matters.
isn't one of them unfinished?
The Pale King was left unfinished, but he arranged what there was to arrange for his wife to find and (presumably) publish. It is also one of my favourite works. It's beautiful.

>the man who sweated too much.
Imagine the smell
Imagine the amount of bandannas he sweated through to write IJ
