Different venue than usual.

Come on out to the ACX (Astral Codex Ten) Montreal Meetup! This week, we're discussing E. Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction, by David Foster Wallace. It's an essay about how TV absorbed irony so completely that sincere fiction became impossible, until writers willing to look naive start making it possible again.

It's a rather long read (~21k words), feel free to read as much as you can. The core argument is laid out in the first half.

Please suggest topics or readings for future meetups on this form.

Venue: McGill University Library, HSSL M3-37A.
Date & Time: Saturday, March 28th, 2026, 2PM-4PM.
