Episode 42: How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart by David Foster Wallace
Manage episode 406610206 series 3299157
Here’s what I learned from How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart by David Foster Wallace:
Rather than tell us how bad the memoir was, he lists eight (eight!) examples—all quotes from the book.
Later, he explicitly tells us how bad TV interviews of top athletes are, then gives two very long and detailed back-to-back examples to make his point.
The best memoirs are written by writers, and celebrity memoirs are trash.
