I've laughed at various things tonight, but i keep coming back to this, trying to find some kind of clue, any kind of clue, why. I think that's what we all look for in suicide: why? I mean, you're suffering, you're living a life of pain and you have an incurable disease, all right, fine.
What is the back story here?
In part, I think to myself, no one is accountable to me. DFW has nothing to explain to me. Nothing. Let's get that straight. I don't think anyone owes me anything.
At the same time, I can't help feeling there has to be some kind of feeling of obligation to your fans. Some need to explain to the people who live on your words, in words, what it all means.

I certainly shall miss him deeply.
