As a bloke who really likes women (okay, and men too, but that’s besides the point), can someone please explain to me how this guy (who is, based on my research, heterosexual, divorced, and a father of several children) can rationalise such behaviour as socially acceptable?

David Foster Wallace at least had the benefit of being funny, and therefore redeemable. Also, his essay on tennis was top notch stuff.

Having a beard and using moustache wax to ensure I can actually, y’know, eat food - that’s alright though, right?

Reading the guy’s ‘bio’ tells me everything I need to know. He’s a Master Wank.

I have a rule.

Especially the Gandalf suite. That in particular is one of my favourite musical compositions.
