Browse pages of David Foster Wallace's annotated copy of Silence of the Lambs

I would have loved to take that course!

It's easy to forget that David Foster Wallace was a college English professor. I recently learned that he taught Thomas Harris' novel The Silence of the Lambs in his classes. I found images of his hand-annotated teaching copy posted online at the website of the David Foster Wallace archive at the University of Texas. I just wish you could zoom in on the images so that we could read his notes more clearly!
