With the publication of David Foster Wallace’s unfinished final novel, The Pale King, only little more than a few months away, BBC reporter and professor Geoff Ward visited his birthplace in rural Illinois for the radio documentary Endnotes that first aired on the BBC February 6th, and can be heard in full here.
He interviews his friends (agent Bonnie Nadell), his family (sister Amy Wallace), fellow writers (Rick Moody, Dom DeLillo, and former roommate Mark Costello), and colleagues (editor of his masterpiece, Infinite Jest, Michael Pietsch) for this, the first major documentary since the Wallace’s death in 2008.
