yeah, unfortunately he did kill himself a year and a half ago. he was on nardil for 15 years or so and then went off it. his depression returned and when he tried to go back on the nardil it didn't work anymore. he also did a bunch of ECT, which didn't help. really sad.
anyway, his name is David Foster Wallace. His writing is not for everyone, but i thought "Infinite Jest" was a lot of fun (and often funny). it is not an easy read but well worth the effort.
