A Bit on Abbreviations

I'm glad that nobody is reading this blog (yet), because I have yet to figure out exactly what the heck it is. But, just in case I have one reader (I remember telling one person about it at a recent conference, and he added it to his Firefox bookmarks, but I'll assume that he's since deleted that mistake), there are 4 abbreviations that I feel I need to provide.

DFW - David Foster Wallace
JCO - Joyce Carol Oates
WTV - Willliam T. Vollmann
TCB - T.C. Boyle

So, in that vain, two links of interest to DFW fans:

1) A transcript of a commencement address he gave this past May.
2) A hopeful piece on getting a Q&A with DFW, but winds up just talking about his books.
