How did Thomas Pynchon influence David Foster Wallace? Well, today, we will hear from a reluctant Wallace discuss Pynchon. I will then apply Harold Bloom's theory of "The Anxiety of Influence" to Wallace and his treatment of Pynchon. The rest of the video will be dedicated to showing how Wallace's early short stories, Infinite Jest and The Broom of the System, display different post-modern elements stemming from Pynchon's influence. Some of these influences are the relationship of language to paranoia, multi-voice narratives, and a ton of other cool stuff!
