I keep thinking about David Foster Wallace, the brilliant writer who died this weekend -- news reports say he hung himself -- and I wind up thinking about his wife, who found him. I loved his work, especially his journalism, which was among the best I've ever read, and I want to be among the scores of writers who, moved by him, are moved to write about him. But all I can think about right now is what he did to his wife.
