What are his best essays because people always say some of his essays are better than Infinite Jest
I read A supposedly fun thing Ill never do again already and I liked some of it while some of it went over my head because I wasn't interested about the subject of the essay

- state fair
- porn awards
- david lynch
- lobsters
- mccain
- "host"
- dostoevsky
- tracy austin
- e unibus pluram
- roger federer
pretty much everything long in the essay collections is good, but if you dont like tennis skip the tennis ones

He was really good at writing in 100 page bursts within gargantuan novels that were kind of muddled as a whole. This isn't really bad. As a stylist he doesn't really falter, he just tends to get autistically detail-oriented. I would suggest reading Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Infinite Jest, Oblivion, and The Pale King. His best story collections and his best novels.
