The Book Cover Archive. 50 Watts. JACKET MECHANICAL. Poor David Foster Wallace. The sad story just continues to get, well, more sad. I just finished reading ALTHOUGH OF COURSE YOU END UP BECOMING YOURSELF. The book is a transcription of a five-day-long interview given by DFW just after the publication of his landscape-altering novel INFINITE JEST. The interview was for a Rolling Stone profile, though it ended up shelved...until now that is. Despite the fact that I constantly wanted to chuck the book out the window, I bravely, stupidly, (complicitly) read it all the way through. It is clear from this "biography in five days" that DFW was deeply uncomfortable with all the attention his recent literary stardom had drawn (as if we didn't already know this) and yet here he is, trotted out posthumously to further the career of others.
There are very few truly insightful or probing ideas in the whole book (and, full disclosure, i am A HUGE fan of DFW- which makes all this much, much worse). Book jackets that tell you too much, suck. Ps. Troppo Tardi. Modern Book Covers : un album. Vintage Book Covers : un album. Search for Inspiration, Portfolios, and Posts on design:related.
