Great essay, I think this text started what eventually led to me reading infinite jest :)

If you get a chance, A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again is really terrific too. I love Infinite Jest, but I think I love DFW’s essays even more. They are just the right length.
Agreed, there is an essay collection named after Consider the Lobster that has some great ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_the_Lobster
The David Foster Wallace Reader has these and more including the brilliant “Both Flesh and Not” and some trivia like his course syllabi and correspondence.
