Club<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;David Foster Wallace wrote about lots of subjects with lots of strategies, all of them vehement. He could be vehemently searching, digressive, playful, pointed, self-conscious, or sad. He could be vehemently pedantic, moralistic, self-abnegating, or grand. His emphasis often changed among these modes, but the driving force was always there&#8211;to the extent that tangling with his work can be exhausting, for all the energy it extends to the reader and all the energy it expects back in kind. Chief among the conflicts presented to the Wallace newbie is the question of whether Wallace was better as a journalist or as a fiction writer. He did important work in both roles, but which, in the end, should prevail?&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/literature\">literature<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/writing\">writing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/review\">review<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/avclub\">avclub<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/inversesquare.wordpress.com\/2009\/05\/28\/diary-of-a-trade-book-newton-and-the-counterfeiter-5-0-editors-and-your-discontents\/\">Diary of A Trade Book (Newton and the Counterfeiter) 5.0: Editors and your (dis)Contents \u00c2\u00ab The Inverse Square Blog<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">A good explanation of the services provided by professional editors that &quot;Web 2.0&quot; can&#8217;t easily reproduce.<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/writing\">writing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/publishing\">publishing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/internet\">internet<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/history\">history<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2009\/05\/28\/nber\">News: The Mystery of Faculty Priorities &#8211; Inside Higher Ed<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;&#8221;For faculty who engage in funded research, there is no economic mystery: research is the product being sold and it makes sense to emphasize it.
