The collection includes DFW’s childhood and college writings, handwritten drafts of “Infinite Jest,” and his heavily marked-up copies of books by Don DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, John Updike and others. The university press release includes links to high-res images of a few items from the archive. (Via Kottke)

David Foster Wallace was, of course, the author of one of our favorite travel stories: Shipping Out.
