I was reading The Pale King by David Foster Wallace and came across this paragraph on page 121. It sounded eerily familiar:
"Tastes a Hostess cupcake. Knows where it was made; knows who ran the machine that sprayed a light coating of chocolate frosting on top; knows that person's weight, show size, bowling average, American Legion career batting average; he knows the dimensions of the room that person is in right now. Overwhelming."
Have you ever read this (unfinished) novel? I love Chew and just thought I'd share this tidbit for whatever it's worth. You and DFW think alike, though to vastly different ends!
