Road trip?

Via wallace-l, the University of Texas has acquired David Foster Wallace's manuscripts and book collection. Apparently Don DeLillo had something to do with it? The lot includes a poem about Vikings DFW wrote in first grade (save your juvenilia!) and some notes in a copy of Borges.

the viking poem rules as a piece of internet ephemera (see adolsecent post-break-up letter from Slash of G'N'R).

but in general, personal papers do not set me afire.
