really? never seen someone like broom that much

Yeah. I'm a sucker for the whole postmodernist wild goose chase thing, also the end of 80's feel
I think Broom and Pale King both surpass Infinite Jest because they don't feel as forced or self consciously 'literary'
I'm not saying I don't like Infinite Jest, but it all feels very contrived in its faux sincerity
Broom is pretentious but it feels like a piece of young manic writing, not plodding 'grown up' lecturing as IJ often does
haha. funny thread guys.
L.O.L.
