“Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted...”
– David Foster Wallace (via exceptionallyodd) “my name’s Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know” I’m listening to John K. Samson’s new thing and reading through the dfw tag on here and almost started crying at this. Ah.

professionallyknownasthewoman asked: I bought a copy of The Fault In Our Stars the other day and there was a wonderful note inside from you.
