Oblivion tells a story of a plain-looking individual named Miech at a gritty, damp subway station en route to catch a movie. As he waits for a train, he faces a troubling memory of a past relationship and is confronted by a projection of his inner emotions that takes the form of a creature. In a desperate attempt to escape from this manifestation, he shifts his attention to his external surroundings only to find that his fellow commuters also have similar creatures. In Oblivion, I address a very human experience through the spectacle of an animated lens. This film is an intimate exploration of Miech’s personal journey. Through his observation, Miech realizes that “everybody has their own demons”. It illustrates the internal psyche through a complex metaphor with elements of beauty, tragedy, and an ironic sense of isolation. It is ironic, because this feeling of isolation is shared among the commuters. Because of its artistic and malleable qualities, I attempted to use animation as a medium to convey these ideas. I wanted to illustrate and contribute to the presentation that everyone has their own demons. This paper will examine the process of crafting an aesthetic, strategic use of visual devices and animation techniques with this concept as the framework of this project, followed by an analysis on its final outcome.

This is a detailed approach to the fiction of a pioneer in modernism's third wave. "Understanding David Foster Wallace" guides readers through thoughtful examinations of Wallace's novels "The Broom of the System" and "Infinite Jest" and first two short story collections, "Girl with Curious Hair" and "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men". In his readings of these works, Marshall Boswell affirms that Wallace (1962-2008), in his fiction, compels our attention for the singular excellence of his work and his ground-breaking effort to chart a fruitful and affirmative new direction for literary fiction.

This is an interpretation put forth by Wallace's editor Michael Pietsch while attempting to unify the disparate components of the text as it remained after the author's untimely death in 2008. As Pietsch argues in the 2011 edition's introduction, "David set out to write a novel about some of the hardest subjects-sadness and boredom" (ix). Though boredom is indeed a theme throughout the novel (and one Wallace himself spoke of at length (D.T. Max 281), The Pale King may also be read as a deep examination of gender identity in America in the latter half of the twentieth century. David Foster Wallace is not often thought of as a writer preoccupied with gender, yet it vexed him throughout his career, evidenced by his depictions of femininity and masculinity (frequently at odds with one another) in Infinite Jest, Oblivion, and most importantly, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Wallace's use of reconstructed gender identities in The Pale King represents his most profound and patriarchydefying depiction of the subject.The Gospel According to David Foster Wallace is the first book to explore key religious themes from boredom to addiction, and distraction – in the work of one of America's most celebrated contemporary novelists. In a series of short, topic-focussed chapters, the book joins a selection of key scenes from Wallace's novels Infinite Jest and The Pale King with clear explanations of how they contribute to his overall account of what it means to be a human being in the 21st century. Adam Miller explores how Wallace's work masterfully investigates the nature of first-world boredom and shows, in the process, how easy it is to get addicted to distraction (chemical, electronic, or otherwise). Implicitly critiquing, excising, and repurposing elements of AA's Twelve Step program, Wallace suggests that the practice of prayer (regardless of belief in God), the patient application o
