David Foster Wallace
Version 6 - Updated 4/5/07
This is the home of the BibTex version of the the David Foster Wallace bibliography. Currently, there are over 200 entries in the bibliography, many of them including full text of the entries. The file has been tested and works with both BibDesk (Mac OS X only) and JabRef (cross-platform). However, for anyone wanting to use this bibliography for actual LaTex typesetting purposes, you’ll still get numerous warnings due to blank fields and the such. At any rate, the BibTex file is located here.
Wallace-l members can download all of the audio and pdf files to go along with the database. Not a member of wallace-l? Please see this link.
Note: HTML versions have not been updated yet…
This update is the first to include HTML versions of the bibliography. They are still a bit rough as the full text portions don’t contain proper paragraph breaks, there aren’t links to local pdfs, and some things don’t display quite the way I would like. But here they are:
Listed by where they are anthologized
Listed by the name of publication
I have added a couple of new pieces as pdfs. The can be found at:
Finally, instructions on how to read a BibTex file, future goals for the bibliography, and updates on what is included, can be read in the release notes.
Also, the less-than-perfect mp3 recordings of the David Foster Wallace/David Shields round table discussion at the University of Washington in the year ninety-something are still available: the intro, part one, part two, part three, part four, and part five. I’m still waiting for a DFW fanatic with much more free time and a higher tolerance of tape hiss than myself to transcribe this thing.
