have you read his short stories? the reason i don't enjoy them is because they're too satirical. not enough humanity. probably the reason he worshiped George Saunders.

What's so bad about satire and why would writing it fail DFW?

Thanks Loren.

Rafael, mine is shallow and I feel that it would be a waste of time for anyone to read ultimately. Basically im writing baby tier BEE right now and I want to move past that.

Go deeper with it and start writing Gaddis-tier satire. The Recognitions is a must-read.
