I read an interview where DFW said that as he got older he became more interested in trying to give people that feeling of recognition of themselves in his writing, that he had realized it was something rare and special. I don't really get that from his writing much. Lately I am really getting it from Smog/Bill Callahan's music. I think I'm reaching some kind of monklike enlightenment thru isolation. Or hypomania.

"looked to her more like emotional detachment, like clinical distance, like mere professional interest the depressed person was purchasing instead of the intensely personal interest and empathy and compassion she often felt she had spent her whole life starved for. It made her angry[...]being nothing but the object of the therapist’s professional compassion"-footnote to "The Depressed Person"

Not reading in order. Still awake 5am. Guess I'm doing fine as the Beck song goes.
Seems to be about narcissism, loneliness, wanting to be liked, etc. Listened to his "Bookworm" radio(it was 1999) interview about it on YouTube. He always seemed so painfully self-conscious. Characters honest/unlikeable/messed up with insecurities/type of consumerist market research, focus group, invasion of the personality vs others.
