Is “connection” a word that is used way too freely? Maybe so. I’m feeling a bit disheartened by its rarity. Sometimes it seems so easy to connect with people and other times, impossible. Regardless of the ambiguity, I’m intrigued by the late David Foster Wallace’s philosophies on the subject, so I decided to look beyond the daunting task of reading 1000 plus pages of fiction and well, just do it. I’ve heard all about this literary journey some call an “infinite summer,” and I’m hopping on board. I’m so curious to where it will take me.
