      <![CDATA[Having read Thompson and scanned a bit of DFW, I don't quite see the similarity.  Other than the willingness to interject the commentary into the reportage, I believe that Thompson in his non fiction (and personal life) was far more willing to be confrontational with and to belittle the powers that be than Wallace.

      <![CDATA[There is also <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/dave-eggers-flips-on-david-foster-wallace_b3895" rel="nofollow">some evidence</a> that DFW was in fact <b>not</b> universally revered as a fiction writer - at least, not until David Eggers wrote the forward for the 2006 edition of <i>Infinite Jest</i>. But look, we are talking about David Eggers here.

      <![CDATA[DFW may have been a universally revered fiction writer, but his non-fiction writing was less-than-universally revered.  See <a href="http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/faculty/rucker/wallace_review.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.ams.org/notices/200406/rev-harris.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>.  So, the tally is:  successful as a journalist, universally revered as a fiction writer, at best mediocre as a writer of non-fiction books.
