The Depressed Person by David Foster Wallace

The increasingly solipsistic narration of a severely depressed individual. A fictional account of a depressed person and their relationship with depression, their therapist, and their Support Group. Written by David Foster Wallace and published in Harper’s Magazine in January of 1998. You can find the story here: Let me know if there is something you’d like to hear next. I think I will read ’A Girl With Curious Hair’ next (I’m just waiting for it to arrive), or ’9/11: A View From the Midwest’ if it doesn’t arrive soon enough.
