Horrible story and loss. Apparently suicide. Obit here. More extensive NY Times look back at DFW’s career here.

Below, we have a clip of him reading a piece that he wrote for Harper’s. Also see our previous item: David Foster Wallace: Deciderization 2007 Online, which includes a link to the essay he wrote for Best American Essays 2007. You can get yet another piece of short fiction online here as well.
