When he was a prof at ISU. She calls him "Dave." Now I have to re-read his books (maybe not infinite jest) to see if I can find a character that resembles her. Anyone remember a bitchy grad student in Brief Interviews?

Aren't there bitchy grad students in the last story of Girl with Curious Hair?

yes, but that was written pre-ISU i believe? not positive tho. there is, of course, the depressed person, but i've heard that was based on another author (not a grad student)

Um..just read his endless footnotes. I'm sure you'll find her there. And also, that sock that i am missing. And, yeah, the piece of paper that listed all of the things i need to do....

Surprisingly, no.
Career alterna -babe. Or, alterna-babe with a career, rather.

My step-father's first wife left him to have an affair with Carlos Castaneda.
