YES, THAT'S RIGHT -- HE WENT DOUBLE-SUMMA AT THE FAIREST COLLEGE: For those of us who are still a bit gobsmacked by David Foster Wallace's passing, three more reminiscences -- from
Dale Peterson, his English thesis advisor at Amherst (he also did a philosophy one); from a former student,
a course syllabus; and via the McSwy's gang, some
memories and
tributes. And while we're at it, two more pieces from the man himself --
his 2001 Harper's essay on the difference between prescriptive and descriptive approaches to grammar, and
a 1996 piece for Tennis magazine on a Pete Sampras-Mark Philippoussis tilt at the US Open.
