The Thomas Harpole Collective

The late David Foster Wallace was a legendary, MacArthur-Fellow-winning genius that I really look up to.    His books and short stories are so well-written and his writing will change the way you think about storytelling.     Take a deep dive into his work! This episode of The Good Stuff replays the commencement speech he did at Kenyon College and talks about freedom, discipline, awareness, American adult life, liberal arts education, and where we, as humans, look for truth.    I wanted to have a place where the audio will be forever, and it will be on this podcast! Check out Infinite Jest, The View from Mrs. Thompson's, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Consider The Lobster, Big Red Son, and all of his good stuff.    All rights and credits for this speech belong to the David Foster Wallace Estate, there is no advertising revenue and this episode is designed for the public benefit. -T --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/
