Should you get an MFA in creative writing? David Foster Wallace thinks not! When you hear Wallace talk about his time in Arizona he absolutely loathes it. His creative output slowed almost to a halt, and he wrote almost none of Infinite Jest in Arizona. On this channel, we are trying to create a literature revolution, and MFA programs are an instrumental reason reading/writing has declined in the past fifty years. Writers should be focused on isolation, longing, tapping into their emotions, and experiencing life. Not running on the hampster wheel of fake progress.
