IHIJ 6: p. 151-181 with Cousin Frank

I Hate Infinite Jest. Jesse's Cousin Frank (a well-read, well-educated man of both the arts and the law) joins the podcast to discuss genius worship, the influence of class on art appreciation, Mary Karr, James Incandenza Sr., failure to live up to potential, the nature of talent, Kurt Vonnegut, childhood jealousy, the importance of reading books at the right age, and many many more topics.  This is my favorite episode so far. Find Cousin Frank on nothing, because he wants to remain anonymous and not be affiliated with his lowlife cousin Jesse.
