The name David Foster Wallace is seldom mentioned without the word "prodigy" in the same sentence. Sometimes "prodigy" is preceded by "fucking," as in the following: "David Foster Wallace is a fucking prodigy." Sometimes this sentence is further punctuated with an "asshole" at the end, either with an ellipses or with the combination conjuction article, as in the following: "David Foster Wallace is a fucking prodigy...asshole." OR "David Foster Wallace is a fucking prodigy and an asshole."
