LONGREADS:  Accompanying the publication of The Pale King has been a lot of writing this month trying to understand David Foster Wallace and his illness. Here's the two best I've seen: Maria Bustillos, Inside David Foster Wallace's Private Self-Help Library (a trip through Wallace's papers at the Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin); and his widow's interview with The Observer (UK).

    The interview with Karen Green is in The Guardian, not The Observer. Have you read The Pale King? I've got my copy but haven't made the plunge yet.
