David Foster Wallace & Dan Brown took a Creative Writing Class together at Amherst.
“Brown’s writing from the class left little impression on Lelchuk. Of course, it would have been easy for anyone to be eclipsed by the enormous talent of fellow student David Foster Wallace, the heady prose stylist now regarded as one of the most gifted writers of his generation. “With Dan, he was not the star of the class, as David was, as were one or two others who were really quite good,” Lelchuk told Storrs.”
“Dan was good,” he finally admitted, as if for the sake of politeness. “But in a much quieter way.”
