A Conservative Voice Luke Kent had come to the student-run Eyewitness News in downtown Portland with a chip on his shoulder. He freely admitted it: he thought EWN was a bunch of ignorant liberals who were going to hell if they didn't repent. And he told his boss that the first day of class. She'd just laughed and asked if he was staying or going. He stayed. How could he not? These liberals flakes were the first people to accept that he was blind and wanted to write sports. The first to argue with him rather than say he shouldn't argue at all. He now had his own radio show where they did just that, in fact. He even debated the faculty advisor — on critical race theory, and wasn't that a hoot? And no hard feelings afterwards either. And then the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Book 4 in PDX Year 3, the 20th book in the Newsroom PDX books. Warning: triggers, foul language, some sex, lots of politics. It's Portland.
David Foster Wallace is to contemporary literature what Kurt Cobain is to music. He died young enough for his promise and his achievements to solidify into a legend. For many, he became someone worth reading, revering, following. How had a teen tennis prodigy turned ace philosophy student turned novelist managed to become a generation-defining star? And how painful was that process for him? What was it that he stood for that chimed with so many? And how much did his, and his country's, addictions defeat him? D. T. Max was determined to find out, and this scrupulous and revealing biographical study, which draws on conversations with those closest to Wallace and on extensive archive material, is the haunting result.
