I'm curious to know what people think about Ziegler's editorial on David Foster Wallace.

This is rather interesting...Ziegler doesn't seem to like Wallace. He doesn't even care for his death. Usually when you know someone...and later find out they died...you at least feel some sympathy. Ziegler doesn't feel anything--he's not happy or sad. He seems to be rather annoyed at Wallace for talking about him in the essay the way he did....just a thought.

Thanks for the link. I guess it's not a huge surprise that Ziegler didn't like DFW, but this seems like an overreaction, especially so soon after his death.
