Claremont police say the novelist and humorist who wrote 'Infinite Jest,' hanged himself Friday night. He was 46.

David Foster Wallace, the novelist, essayist and humorist best known for his 1996 tome "Infinite Jest," was found dead last night at his home in Claremont, according to the Claremont Police Department. He was 46.

Jackie Morales, a records clerk at the Claremont Police Department, said Wallace's wife called police at 9:30 p.m. Friday saying she had returned home to find her husband had hanged himself.


Wallace won a cult following for his dark humor and ironic wit, which was on display in such books as "Girl with Curious Hair" and "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men." In 1997, he received a MacArthur "genius" grant.

Born in Ithaca, New York, Wallace was teaching writing at Pomona College.

Thanks for posting this., Mistress F. :(

Dammit.

"Infinite Jest" is an amazing work imo. Poor dear man, I cannot imagine what must have been bedeviling that complicated ironic mind of his to make him end his life so abruptly and at such an early point in what could have been an extensively brilliant career.

Perhaps it was his own ultimate ironic "infinite jest"? Sry. I'm ttly caught off-guard by things like this.

His poor wife. It must be fucking hard to be a wife/spouse/partner of a "genius".

Rest In Irreverent Peace, sir.
