Oakland - The DFW Fantods discuss "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes new book group The David Foster Wallace Fantods back to the store to discuss Wallace's acclaimed first book of essays, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, on Monday, June 25th at 7pm. From the group: "This group is for DFW newcomers, readers and howling fantods to come together and share their experiences of his work... DFW's work is voluminous and absorbing, but other work should also be considered... We will also include works such as Gravity's Rainbow, Wittgenstein, Dostoevsky, C.S. Lewis, Kafka, Delillo, et al., eventually, and discuss how they pertain and are incorporated into DFW's work. If you've ever wondered what the fuss was about, here's your chance."
This event is free and all are welcome and encouraged to attend!
