In the fall of 1990, years before he published Infinite Jest<\/em>, David Foster Wallace came on as an adjunct professor at Emerson College, in Boston. As D. T. Max writes in his biography, Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story<\/em><\/a>, this wasn\u2019t such a hot time for Wallace. He was mentally unstable in those years, and actively ashamed of his latest collection of stories, Girl with Curious Hair<\/em>; when the Emerson English department posted an advertisement for it, he tore it down. And teaching offered no reprieve from the problems he had with his writing and the culture at large. In a letter to Jonathan Franzen, he called his students \u201cinfants\u201d: \u201cyou almost have to cradle their heads to help their necks support the skull\u2019s weight.\u201d Were the youth simply too enamored of TV\u2019s easy charms? Max writes,<\/p>\n

\n

The students he was teaching made him feel the problem was worse than he had known. They were the Letterman generation he had imagined in [his short story] \u201cMy Appearance,\u201d proud of their knowingness. \u201cThey\u2019re all \u2018television\u2019 majors, whatever that means,\u201d he complained to [David] Markson, adding that he\u2019d had his wrist slapped by his department for \u201c\u2009\u2018frustrating\u2019 the students\u201d with a DeLillo novel (he does not say which) by which he meant to wake them up \u2026 Wallace knew he did not want to stay at Emerson long.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still, because he was fluent in TV, Wallace found himself popular with the students. And at least one of them came away emboldened by that \u201cfrustrating\u201d experience with DeLillo: Paul Thomas Anderson, whose latest film, Inherent Vice<\/em>, is in wide release this week. <\/p>\n

Yesterday, on a new episode of Marc Maron\u2019s WTF <\/em>podcast<\/a>, Anderson\u2014who had similar gripes with higher education and never finished college\u2014spoke at length about his time with Wallace, whom he adored.<\/p>\n

\n

When I was at Emerson for that year, David Foster Wallace, who was a great writer who was not known then, was my teacher\u2014he was my English teacher \u2026 It was the first teacher I fell in love with. I\u2019d never found anybody else like that at any of the other schools I\u2019d been to. Which makes me really reticent to talk shit about schools or anything else, because it\u2019s just like anyplace\u2014if you could find a good teacher, man, I\u2019m sure school would be great.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSo why didn\u2019t you stay?\u201d Maron asks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe left,\u201d Anderson says. He goes on:<\/p>\n

\n

I called him once. He was very generous with his phone number. He said \u201cCall me if you got any questions,\u201d and I called him a couple times … I ran a few ideas by him about this paper that I was writing. I was writing a paper on Don DeLillo\u2019s White Noise<\/em> \u2026 I\u2019d come up with a couple crazy ideas, and I don\u2019t remember the conversation well, but I just remember him being real generous at like, you know, midnight the night before it was due \u2026 I\u2019d love to go back and read [White Noise<\/em>] again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ll never know what Wallace thought of Anderson as a student\u2014or if he even remembered teaching him. But Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story <\/em>tells us he was aware of Anderson\u2019s films, at least\u2014he was a fan of Boogie Nights<\/em>, which he told a friend was \u201cexactly the story\u201d he\u2019d wanted to write. (He went on to write about porn himself in the essay \u201cBig Red Son.\u201d) He was less jazzed about Magnolia<\/em>, though, which he found pretentious, hollow, and \u201c100% gradschoolish in a bad way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson wouldn\u2019t disagree with that assessment, I suspect\u2014in his WTF <\/em>interview, he confesses that he\u2019d cut the film entirely differently if he made it today. (\u201cI wasn\u2019t really editing myself,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s way too fucking long.\u201d) If you\u2019re not familiar with WTF<\/em>, the Anderson episode is a great starting point: you can listen to the whole thing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
