every day that my son practices crawling and standing, he gets bit by bit better at holding his own weight, and every day I watch him and think of madam zeroni’s advice to carry a piglet up a hill

I taught DFW when I was subbing yesterday, and today I’m listening to Tenth of December (George Saunders). DFW’s influence on him is SO PALPABLE. never caught it before!
