David Foster Wallace's Dog

David Foster Wallace stole all my best ideas. Also squirrels. Woof!

Lonely dogs tend to be lonely because they decline to bear the psychic costs of being around other humans. They are allergic to people. People affect them too strongly.

[Neil Gaiman @neilhimself]

This is marvellous! Thank you!

So friends, I won't lie to you; crowdfunding during #Lockdown is tough. But I'm not sure it gets better than Neil Gaiman calling your work "marvellous"

Our @unbounders book, Philosophers' Dogs, is now 85% funded - so grateful to everyone who can support!

“Mario, what do you get when you cross an insomniac, an unwilling agnostic and a dyslexic?"

"I give."

"You get someone who stays up all night torturing himself mentally over the question of whether or not there's a dog.”

Dogs-toevsky ate fiction about identity, moral value, greed vs the need to eat all the food, freedom to go on walkies, obsession with tennis balls, faith that the tennis ball is real. And he did it without ever reducing his fellow dogs to barkpieces.

This is what happens: I imagine the things you will throw and then you pretend to throw them and then I get very confused when I can't find the imaginary things you have thrown. I just wanted to pick them up with my mouth and bring them back to you.

This; this is selfishness.

I’ll gladly identify myself if you’ll first simply explain what it is I’m identifying myself as. For instance. Are you asking me to identify myself as a cake eater, just because the cake you left on the side is now gone? I need to be clear.

@eahenson @InstantIdealism It was all meant to be; it was destiny

[David Foster Wallace's Dog @DFWs_Dog]

You do not have to like a dog in order to learn from him/her/it. Dogs are the wisest creatures of all - even the 'bad' ones.

Who am I kidding? There's no such thing as a 'bad' dog.
