Talk:Mark Leyner

Untitled

Can someone provide a reference or title for the David Foster Wallace essay derid/championing Leyner?

Haven't found the DFW article for sure, but some references to it: "He referred to me as the antichrist in the New York Times Magazine, and I think that after having been called the antichrist, everything else seems sort of mild." http://www.salon.com/books/int/1997/12/cov_si_08leyner2.html

I have found an interview where DFW calls Rush Limbaugh the antichrist, and then lumps Leyner in with him: "But you also see it in fucking Rush Limbaugh, who may well be the Antichrist. You see it in T. C. Boyle and Bill Vollmann and Lorrie Moore. It's pretty much all there is to see in your pal Mark Leyner. Leyner and Limbaugh are the nineties' twin towers of postmodern irony, hip cynicism, a hatred that winks and nudges you and pretends it's just kidding." http://www.centerforbookculture.org/interviews/interview_wallace.html

It also appears that DFW devotes a lot of discussion to Leyner in the essay "E Unibas Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction" which is collected in his book "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments".

He's also lambasted in B.R. Myer's "A Reader's Manifesto," although I don't have a copy to refer to offhand. 66.9.126.26 21:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC) http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200107/myers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.245.115 (talk) 00:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
