I always saw it as a move of honor, to save face or to take the blame for something so the family did not have to suffer. Yes, this is Asian, and so I just didn't attach the stigma to it that westerners do.<BR/><BR/>But yes, I view it as tragic, and most of all as a lonely act.<BR/><BR/>So my heart goes out to his family and his friends. I hope they keep his words close by. We're all very lucky he left such a legacy.Kananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317494343177263398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252783823562876864.post-15229223171053295782008-09-15T08:14:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:14:00.000-07:00Depression is really a tough nut to beat. It's ha...Depression is really a tough nut to beat. It's hard to understand the illness when one doesn't suffer from it - and I don't understand it. <BR/><BR/>i never read any of Wallace's work, although I own some of his books. Nevertheless it's a real tragedy for his readers, his family (of course) and i imagine his students as well. My translator (Paul Knobloch for the Vian and Gainsbourg bio) is a huge fan of his work. Very depressing lost to the literary community. And I suspect his work won't be forgotten.Tosh Bermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303116458264444064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252783823562876864.post-51836390990478156102008-09-14T10:27:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:27:00.000-07:00R.I.P.D.F.W.R.I.P.D.F.W.Tysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322678094715115570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252783823562876864.post-90255046020293937682008-09-14T10:26:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:26:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13322678094715115570noreply@blogger.com
