Pretty sure it is “the diaphanous and epicanthically doe-eyed Petra”
Epicanthus - a fold of skin extending from the eyelid over the inner canthus of the eye, common among Mongoloid peoples.

This is a very funny essay, I love DFW but sometimes it bugs me a little how he augments his talents of non-fiction descriptive and ironic writing with clearly invented, quirky little asides to make things more outlandish
hehe
hehe
I sure wish that a …
I sure wish that a person knowing something about how much he is loved and by so many could have had some kind of impact on how much value a person puts on their existence in this world, thereby being able to somewhat valiantly overcome the heinousness of the disease that prevented him from seeing the love that was i.e. there for him in this world!
I love you man, and everything you wrote and I miss you every single day! and i will always wish to have been able to have just 1 convo with you!
highly and …
highly and superlatively so: )
Are you hideous?
Are you hideous?
Who said this was …
Who said this was great literature? It’s from a collection of non-fiction essays written for magazines and papers. It’s wonderfully written ENTERTAINMENT.
Read Infinite Jest if you want to know why he should be taken seriously. A book that was fussed over by every literate, “cool” “fashionable” 20-something in the 90s, and literally was not CAPABLE of suffering because of said treatment. It’s a great book written by not just a great writer but a significant writer.
He obtained more …
He obtained more and touched more people during his short life than you ever, ever will.
Eh, the Illuminati …
Eh, the Illuminati is run by reptilian kin known in history as jinn, naga, demons, vampires, bluebloods, Al Pike, Al Gore, Rothschilds, Windsors, Warburgs etc that rule the inner cult of Freemasonry that do vile sex & torture rituals. They’ll probably stage WW3, go to internet 2, force-vaccinate many and stage an alien invasion to get a microchipped population/world government so resist! Support Stewart Swerdlow, Dr. Deagle, Alex Jones, FreemanTV, David Icke and Project Camelot!
He was not a coward …
He was not a coward. He was a sick man who tried valiantly to beat the disease that eventually took him.
His writing is lyrical, funny, cinematic, and brilliant. Let us show this tender man the respect he deserves. Peace.
You should read …
You should read Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther.
Werther’s views on suicide might open your eyes to how illogical this stance is.
he took the cowards …
he took the cowards way out

I am God. Who the are you? A sad sad poser who feigns intelligence through pseudo-bombast and pretentious diction, e.g., “whilst,” “damn sight more[sic].” LOL. You want to play rhetorical games? Bring it, . I’m a genius. You’re nothing.

who the are you to attempt to justify your pathetic longing with obviously spurious statements while wanking yourself into oblivion whilst others fail graciously with having said a sight more than you ever will?
