Hi-
I just bumped into the Challenge. What a relief that I’ll have it going forward. I bought Jest when it was first published, never got around to it, lost it in a move, then repurchased it after DFW’s death. Now I’m all in at page 300 something. It colors my day, I quote it, I think about it . He stole a line of mine about evil people having the fact that they don’t know they’re evil in common (I’m even structuring DFW type sentences). I laugh out loud while reading him. Nicholson Baker was the last to do that. I spent the last few months totally absorbed by topology and some other higher math fields and was surprised that he’s poked around there. I love your mobius strip.
Happy holidays
Doug

Sorry to be using this as a contact form (feel free to delete this comment), but I can’t figure out how else to contact you.
I was wondering if I could interview you two as part of our Infinite Summer project. See infinitesummer.org.
Drop me a line at the email address provided, thanks.
