I thought his essay on the effect of television on American fiction was excellent.

But I'm such a big fan of his. I read Shipping Out* when it appeared in Harpers, long before I knew who he was, and I was halfway through Infinite Jest before I realized that they were written by the same guy.

And that essay in Consider the Lobster about the porn convention just had me in stitches.

*the title on original publication of the essay we know as A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
