Also apologies if people are talking about this in the general discussion forum - Im a first-time reader so I've been avoiding it.

I have no problem replying to myself:

Bluestocking posted "The Planet Trillaphon" in the Kate Gompert discussion, and I just finished reading it... had to take a break halfway through because it was really disturbing. But then I got to the end, and DFW closed with such an interesting, powerful technique - like the reader's equivalent of Lacan's variable length sessions. Neat.

The closest that we get to a description of the actual Entertainment is really, really interesting from a Lacanian standpoint. (I've mentioned this on the thread about The Entertainment on the general board.)

i can't read the general board because i am terrified of spoilers. is this something you can explain now or will it all be revealed in time? i am on pg. 627. do i have to wait longer? this is killing me.

Like you, I have no problem replying to myself. Here's a link to that article: http://lepo.it.da.ut.ee/~marina2/personal/MGpaper.htm
