“这是关于同代中最具影响力的作家David Foster Wallace的首部传记。David Foster Wallace是他那个时代的文坛领军人物，不仅以散文俘获了读者，更以其睿智的思想令人为之倾倒。在这部作家的首部传记中，D. T. Max着手勾勒出Wallace在抗击抑郁与成瘾的同时、最终带着杰作Infinite Jest脱颖而出的那场饱受折磨、痛苦而又常获胜利的成名之战。自2008年他在四十六岁自杀早逝以来，Wallace已经变得越来越……”

……与他人分享我内心的真实想法和感受。读这本书就像是与 DFW 的心灵进行一次深入的亲密交流，它让我更加确信人与人之间那种连接的重要性。《Every Love Story is a Ghost Story》（D.T. Max 著），这是 DFW 的传记，我是读完《Infinite Jest》之后读的。强烈建议在读完 IJ 之后读它，以便了解书中构思来源的更多背景。我学到的两点：1. IJ 基本上花了……
…share what I really thought and felt with others. Reading the book is like entering an intimate communion with DFW's mind and it reinforced in me the importance of inter-human connection in that way. Every Love Story is a Ghost Story (D.T. Max) DFW's biography, which I read after Infinite Jest. I highly recommend reading after IJ to get more background on where the books idea's came from. Two things I learned: 1. IJ basically took…
……绝对能感受到他的文笔有多紧凑——放在任何其他作家身上都会显得极其冗长累赘的流水句，在他笔下却行云流水，并且完全贴合那种螺旋式推进的思绪。我推荐《Every Love Story is a Ghost Story》，这是 D.T. Max 写的 DFW 传记。它很好地勾勒了他的人生轨迹，又没有过多陷入过度推测或心理分析。我通常习惯在对作者一无所知的情况下去读书，但我感觉……
…definitely get a sense of how tight his prose is - what would be egregiously long and cumbersome run-on sentences for any other writer are fluid and make perfect sense as spiraling thoughts. I'd recommend "Every Love Story is a Ghost Story," D.T. Max's biography of DFW. It gives a good outline of his life without straying too far into speculation/psychoanalysis. I usually try to approach books without any knowledge of the author but I feel…
很高兴在 HN 上看到这个。我读过 DFW 的所有作品，他真的是个极有意思的作家，也是个很有趣的人。传记《Every Love Story is a Ghost Story》对任何感兴趣的人来说都是必读之作。我在 IJ 里最喜欢的一句话是：“当你意识到别人其实很少想到你时，你对别人看法的担忧就会少得多。”
Pleasantly surprised to see this on HN. I've read all of DFW's work and he's such an interesting writer/human being. The biography "Every Love Story is a Ghost Story" is a must-read for anyone who's interested. My favorite lines he wrote are in IJ: "you'll worry a lot less about what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do."
据我从《Every Love Story is a Ghost Story》里的记忆，FD 和 Pynchon 共享了这个头衔。Pynchon 的《V.》启发了 DFW 写出他的第一部小说《The Broom of the System》。
FD and Pynchon share that title from what I remember from Every Love Story is a Ghost Story. Pynchon's V. inspired DFW to write his first novel, The Broom of the System.
读 DFW 的传记《Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story》时，书里提到有数百处编辑认为是打字错误的地方，而 DFW 却坚称这正是他原本想要表达的意思。他们为此反复拉扯……
Reading the DFW biography, Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story, it said that there were hundreds of cases where the editor claimed something was a typographical error, and DFW insisted that actually it was precisely how he meant it to be. They went back and forth…
