David Foster Wallace's Syllabus
Admittedly, I don't know all that much about David Foster Wallace, but I do recognize what a loss his death represents for American literature. Today I found this link to a syllabus from one of his classes (from 2005). It's strange to read, especially in light of his suicide. It's strange to picture him teaching classes just like any professor. You can see how his love for literature and teaching shine through in this meticulously written document.
