Brett Easton Ellis, fanboy: “CREEPY #97 was great! A fantastic cover! Six superb stories…one of them a masterwork! What more could a fan ask?”

From Letters of Note: DFW to Don DeLillo: “…your thoughts have confirmed my belief that what usually presents in me as a problem with Discipline is actually probably more a problem with Dedication. I struggle very hard with my desires both to have Fun when writing and to be Serious when writing. I know that my first book was the most Fun I’ve ever had writing, but I know also that the only remotely Serious thing about it was that I very Seriously wanted the world to think I was a really good fiction-writer. I cringe, now, to look at how so much of my first stuff seems so excruciatingly obviously exhibitionistic and so Seriously approval-hungry.”
