The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
– David Foster Wallace
As I sat with my cup of coffee this morning, this quote popped into my mind and hasn’t left since. I suppose there is a reason for it, (my muse is behind it most likely), but for the moment I’m just going to enjoy the wisdom of Wallace’s words.
And then I’m going to laugh . . .
I do things like get in a taxi and say, “The library, and step on it.”
– David Foster Wallace
Perhaps Wallace is lingering in my mind because of a prompt in my writer’s group this week. If you could meet someone who was dead, who it would be and why? I immediately thought of Wallace, as I always wish he was still around dispensing his humor and wisdom. I’d love to shake his hand and ask him about the ending of The Pale King.
Who would you want to meet?
