“I get the feeling that a lot of us, privileged Americans, as we enter our early 30s, have to find a way to put away childish things and confront stuff about spirituality and values.” —David Foster Wallace

Just this week, prior to Wallace’s death, I had a long conversation with my sister about this subject. Considering that I have long conversations with my family about once a decade, the conversation (and its subject) stood out for me, just as Wallace’s quote did while reading the 1996 interview with him that Salon has reposted. It’s a good read.

UPDATE: Chris chimes in with an obit for Wallace. So does Jason.
