Weigel: "A new book from Columbia University Press reveals what his mentors and friends had long known: Wallace was also a talented philosopher." If you missed '''David Lipsky's''' excellent and sad "The Lost Years & Last Days of David Foster Wallace", which appeared in ''Rolling Stone'' in the Oct 2008 issue, and used to be available online, it's too late. However, Mr Lipsky has a new book out, a ''memoire'' about his time spent with DFW, ''Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace''. You can read an excerpt [http://www.npr.org/tablet/#story/?storyId=126483112 here]. And it may soon be [http://www.observer.com/2009/media/david-lipskys-david-foster-wallace-book-finds-home-broadway adapted for Broadway]!
