Anecdotes and interviews are worth the price of admission. Scholarly works remind me why I was glad to be done with scholarly writing after finishing my MA.

Placing eulogy & interview with literary criticism to cover many things David Foster Wallace. Though probably not essential for even the most devoted & voracious DFW fans (most of the arguments in the crit. lit. articles are obvious enough, assume you know your Dave & his concerns), the collection is good reading. Notables: Josh Roiland's "Getting Away From It All", Lee Konstantinou's "No Bull", & Kathleen Fitzpatrick's "Infinite Summer". Included eulogies by Saunders, DeLillo, Franzen & Moody are the real deal, though I only cried a smidgen.
