Dog-eared 9

I’ve decided to copy my wife's “dog-eared” feature. These posts will contain quotations from books, music, movies, and whatever else I feel like sharing.

A Cult of Cool

[David Foster Wallace has] twice failed the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, the first step toward entering the Catholic Church. (Wallace apparently referred to “the cult of personality surrounding Jesus Christ,” which did not sit well with the priest.)

From A Cult of Cool, by Elizabeth Weil, in the March 18, 1996, Los Angeles Times.
