In this episode, we discuss the new Ken Burns PBS documentary on Ernest Hemingway. We cover some of the wild parts of his life, what made him the writer (and drinker) he was, and what we could take away from his writing style.
We also go over his writing process and how he compares to that of Hunter S. Thompson.
IRC #13: Oblivion Part Four – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
Today we are discussing the short story "Good Old Neon" by David Foster Wallace. We take a deep dive into imposter syndrome, what it means to truly be a fraud, and the importance we put on how others view us.
We also correlate the story with the current state of social media and the constant need people have to be seen and heard, often through the sacrifice of their authentic selves. Finally, Caleb breaks down why he believes actor Kelsey Grammer is ultimately responsible for the death of David Foster Wallace.
