What did he do that we should hate him for?
I only read The War On Cliche which is essays and reviews of stuff like Ballard and Nabakov. I liked it. As a point of reference I dont care for Harold Bloom.

Meme-shaming DFW is a meme.

He accurately depicts the working class, along with racial and ethnic minorities. He's no racist, but he writes with a reckless abandon regarding those who might accuse him of racism.
He's also one of those rare laugh-out-loud writers.
Why should /lit/ hate him?

Reading Money at the moment...John Self is a memorable character. Some pretty funny moments so far. No issues with Martin Amis thus far.
His father's book Everyday Drinking is great.
he's a mediocrity
