Good Old NEon

Just wanted to share a great post I found on another blog about one of David Foster Wallace's greatest short fictions, "Good Old Neon," from his 2004 collection Oblivion. I haven't gone back and read "Good Old Neon" since Wallace's suicide in 2008, as I loaned it to a friend in Albuquerque in 2005 and never got it back.  I'll have to find that book again, though, it's a masterpiece, although his 1999 collection Brief Interviews with Hideous Men resonates more deeply in my memory.

"Good Old Neon," by the way, is a 1st-person account of the suicide of a fictional character named David Wallace.
