Here is the
prompt for the essay you'll write over the weekend:
As David Foster Wallace wrote in his 2001 story "Good Old Neon":
What goes on inside is just too fast and huge and all
interconnected for words to do more than barely sketch the outlines of
at most one tiny little part of it at any given instant.
Do Montaigne's techniques
and topics support Foster's notion or contradict it? How does Montaigne's style provide a window
into his thinking? Compare with Austen's style in Pride & Prejudice. Include examples. Avoid summarizing or rehashing the original text.
