Bottorff-Arey, Mullins’s mother, felt consumed by the loss of her son. She thought about how close Mullins had been to his two siblings, and began to panic that she might lose them, too. She told me, “When you’ve lived through your child dying who you thought was O.K., you can never look at your other children again and say, ‘They’re O.K.,’ because that floor had fallen out from under me.”

There is a sense—again brought to full boil in Infinite Jest—that our obsession with being entertained has deadened our affect, that we are not, as a character warns in that book, choosing carefully enough what to love. ― D.T. Max, Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace

quoted Lewis Hyde, whose pamphlet on John Berryman and alcohol he had read in his early months at Granada House: Irony has only emergency use. Carried over time, it is the voice of the trapped who have come to enjoy the cage. Then he continued: This is because irony, entertaining as it is, serves an almost exclusively negative function. It’s critical and destructive, a ground-clearing….[I]rony’s singularly unuseful when it comes to constructing anything to replace the hypocrisies it debunks. ― D.T.
