Jay McInerney called it “something like a sleek Vonnegut chassis wrapped in layers of post-millennial Zola.” David Foster Wallace, welcome to our show.- DAVID:
Thank you, glad to be here. He exchanges looks with Lipsky outside the booth.- NPR GUY:
You have said that you saw yourself as - quote - “a combination of being incredibly shy, and being an egomaniac, too.”- DAVID:
I think I said “exhibitionist, also.”- NPR GUY:
Meaning? David glances at Lipsky.- DAVID:
Well, I think being shy basically means being self-absorbed to the extent that it makes it difficult to be around other people.- NPR GUY:
Difficult for you, or difficult for the other people?- DAVID:
I suppose a little bit of both. 77 I/E. PATTY'S CAR/MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO - ST PAUL - 1996 -77- DAY:
Patty waits outside her car as the Davids join her.- PATTY:
That was wonderful! I listened to the whole show! So interesting! I may have to buy your book and read it!- DAVID:
Sorry about that. David and Lipsky climb in. 55.- PATTY:
So, you have the rest of the day free. Where would you like to go?- DAVID:
Do you know where the Mall of Americais? 79 E./I. MALL OF AMERICA/VARIOUS SHOPS - MINNESOTA - 1996 - DAY 79 They discover the vast courts at each corner of the mall. They walk through the amusement park; ride a roller coaster; ride a carousel. In a mirror maze, they make their waythrough, trying not to bump into the walls. They try flightsimulators, play mini-golf, and walk through the underwatertunnels of the aquarium. They stare blankly at Build-a-Bearbear parts which stare blankly back at them. 80 INT. MALL OF AMERICA/FOOD COURT - MINNESOTA - 1996 - DAY 80 David and Lipsky sit over lunch, the recorder running on thetable between them. They watch SHOPPERS.- DAVID:
I wanted to write something that hadkind of the texture of what life was like in America right now: Thisenormous tsunami of stuff comin’ at you. And also - it’s not unfun.- LIPSKY:
Not at all. It is sort of heavy, though. I mean weight-wise.- DAVID:
My friend said when it hit the porch, it sounded like a car bomb going off.
