Rumpus Book ClubDFW Reacts to Infinite Jest Cuts
“p. 52 – This is one of my personal favorite Swiftian lines in the whole manuscript, which I will cut, you rotter.
p. 82 – I cut this and have now come back an hour later and put it back.
p. 133 – Poor old FN 33 about the grammar exam is cut. I’ll also erase it from the back-up disc so I can’t come back in an hour and put it back in (an enduring hazard, I’m finding).”
HTMLGiant has posted an excerpt of Rumpus contributor Rick Moody’s interview with Michael Pietsch, who edited Infinite Jest. (The full interview appears in the Sonora Review David Foster Wallace Tribute Edition.)
