David Foster Wallace: A Complete(sque) Bibliography [in Progress]
DFW: 02/21/1962 -- 09/12/2008
I began putting together a binder of the uncollected DFW publications in 2014. After years of having found no
complete bibliography for his work, I decided to put one together myself. The vast majority of these entries are gathered
during my exhaustive search for all things DFW in fall 2014. As the reader will see, I have not yet managed to track down
all pertinent information for every entry below: many page numbers and volume numbers for the journals remain absent.
Some additional bibliographical resources that I have used to put this together include,
1) https://nasebohren.wordpress.com/category/david-foster-wallace/
2) https://www.thehowlingfantods.com/dfw/uncollected-dfw.html
3) Harry Ransom Center Catalog, https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00503
4) https://www.zotero.org/groups/10248/dfw/items/7AT6XVXF/item-details
5) Jstor, https://www.jstor.org [search: David Foster Wallace]
6) DFW Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster_Wallace_bibliography
7) Wendy Liu, https://dellsystem.me/dfw
8) http://pinkasphalt.com/dfw-bib/
9) https://rivistatradurre.it/scritti-di-david-foster-wallace/?pdf=2598
I offer my sincerest gratitude to those whose labor appears on the above list and my humblest appreciation for the
institutions that provide for the possibility. It is my hope that this bibliography can make it to anyone who enjoys Wallace’s
work so much that they, like me, are possessed to read all that he has to offer in the most complete version possible (or
every version possible, for that matter). Many unpublished items and personal papers may be found in the DFW archive
(1971-2008) that resides at the Harry Ransom Center, Manuscript Collection MS-5155, at the University of Texas at
Austin.
Wallace was quite successful at getting his words published for most of his career, and he often got the same item
printed in multiple publications, sometimes under a different title, as many a DFW reader frequently discovers. There is, as
a result, a certain level of difficulty in accounting for the differences between the various published versions of Wallace’s
work. Because of the various publishers’ specific editorial preferences, the alternate versions for any single publication
almost unanimously have at least a few differences among them. The potential editors of future variorum editions for
DFW’s work will have their work before them in detailing all the specific variations.
As an effort to guide the reader to the fullest possible version of any such work, notes are provided in brackets at the
end of each entry that, for the most part, detail which versions are shorter or longer than another, or offer some such other
necessary information. I have supplied notes only for those cases wherein the differences between published versions
exceed that of merely a few words, or cases wherein additional / alternate content is present. The alternate titles are given
parenthetically at the end of each respective entry. I have also included the appearances of Wallace’s work in various
anthologies and general collections that were published while he was alive; I have made no effort to do so for those
published after 2008. The notes detail the differences between the corresponding publications using as a reference point the
title of the entry in which the note occurs; e.g., such a note as, “P1”. . . (= “P2”. . .[longer version].), indicates that
published version 2 is a longer version of published version 1.
Page number citations of novels / collections (e.g., CtL: ##-##) are given according to the paperback editions. I have
included bracketed notes introduced with daggers where audio files may be found for particular interviews. Other various
notes I have deemed relevant are present from time to time. The reader will notice that I have also included a section of
television / radio interviews that are not available in print but for which the original audio or video recording may be found.
The section at the end labeled “NOTABLE MISCELLANY (CONCERNING DFW)”, which includes a few relevant articles that
no DFW researcher should overlook. In deciding what to include in this section my immediate efforts were to be concise.

*DFW was on the usage panel for the American Heritage Dictionary (5th ed).
**Novel excerpts published individually are often early drafts or alternate versions of their respective chapters from the
novels. These excerpts are listed both under the “NOVELS” section under each novel title and individually within their
appropriate category below.
