> Like it seems like every writer who has more than a few paragraphs on DFW is someone obviously inferior?

That seems like a crank opinion, at least wrt Franzen's writing and your italics around the word "obviously."

I mean, it's definitely my opinion, that's why I did the "it seems." To me it does feel obvious, but I do wonder if others agree?

I mean, I've read Infinite Jest (I did mostly skip the footnotes) but I can't get through more than a few pages of every Franzen novel I've tried. Could just be me.

I thought the footnotes in Infinite Jest were gold.

They absolutely are. GP missed out.
