David Foster Wallace quote: "If Realism called it like it saw it, Metafiction simply called..."
If Realism called it like it saw it, Metafiction simply called it as it saw itself seeing itself see it. David Foster Wallace
TYRONE[Stares at him -- impressed.]Yes, there's the makings of a poet in you all right.[Then protesting uneasily]But that's morbid craziness about not being wanted and loving death. EDMUND[Sardonically]The makings of a poet. No, I'm afraid I'm like the guy who is always panhandling for a smoke. He hasn't even got the makings. He's got only the habit. I couldn't touch what I tried to tell you just now. I just stammered. That's the best I'll ever do, I mean, if I live. Well, it will be faithful... Eugene O'Neill
