Il 12 settembre 2008 David Foster Wallace, forse lo scrittore più importante della sua intera generazione, si suicidava dopo lunghi anni di depressione. Una ferita che, a tre anni di distanza, ancora non si è rimarginata nel cuore di milioni di fan dell'autore di romanzi monstre come "Infinite Jest" e racconti insuperabili, seppur lontanissimi, come quelli raccolti in "Brevi interviste con uomini schifosi", probabilmente i suoi due libri capolavoro, per quanto sia difficile scegliere. Foster Wallace, poi, è stato un esempio di stile e tematiche anche per gli scrittori italiani. Sandro Veronesi, che con Fandango è stato colui che ha deciso di tradurre "Infinite Jest" in italiano, ritorna sulla drammatica scelta del suicidio.Geniale, crudele, complesso, straordinariamente umano e infinitamente fragile, David Foster Wallace ha saputo mettere sulla pagina il mondo contemporaneo, con tutte le sue facce, non solo letterarie. Gianluigi Ricuperati lo ricorda proprio in questo senso.Oggi, tre anni dopo il suo addio, Foster Wallace resta un pianeta luminoso e distante, di cui forse solo con il passare degli anni si arriverà a capire l'intera topografia. E intanto i suoi lettori italiani attendono con ansia la traduzione del suo romanzo postumo "The Pale King". E in un triste anniversario è comunque una bella notizia.

L'attesa è finita: le librerie italiane sono pronte ad accogliere il grande romanzo postumo di David Foster Wallace, "Il Re pallido", che esce in questi giorni per i tipi di Einaudi. Un romanzo che lo scrittore americano, suicidatosi il 12 settembre 2008, ha immaginato come un'epopea sulla noia nel mondo contemporaneo e per questo lo ha ambientato tra gli agenti del fisco. Sandro Veronesi, scrittore legato a Foster Wallace da qualcosa che è più della semplice ammirazione, presenta così "Il Re pallido".Per i fan di David Foster Wallace, una vera comunità di adepti, Veronesi ipotizza poi che questo romanzo possa anche riservare delle sorprese future. E a proposito di come l'America guarda a David Foster Wallace, Sandro Veronesi ricorda delle celebrazioni a cui ha partecipato in prima persona. Ora la palla passa ai lettori: "Il Re pallido" sembra avere tutte le carte in regola per ricreare il fenomeno del romanzo-fiume "Infinite Jest". E la voce unica di David continua a vivere.

Charice's Father Stabbed To Death
http://Facebook.com/ClevverTV - Become a Fan! http://Twitter.com/ClevverTV - Follow Us! I'm Dana Ward in Hollywood for ClevverTV and today's top headline marks devastating news for teen singer and Glee star Charice. The 19 year old has just learned that her estranged father was murdered in his family's hometown. According to local authorities, he was shopping at a local grocery store when he bumped into an intoxicated man, who then became outraged and stabbed him to death with an ice pick. While Charice did not have a close relationship with her father, she did tweet out to let her fans know that she would not be taking part in the David Foster and Friends concert, adding QUOTE: "I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family." Charice further explained that quote: "I loved him and I will still love him. He's still my Dad after all." This is clearly very unfortunate news for Charice and her loved ones. Please hit the comments to show your on-going support for the singer and stay with ClevverTV for on-going news on this and other developing stories.

Sean Sonego, at 18 years of age, is an upcoming singer/songwriter from Edmonton. As one of Alberta's most active young performers, Sean has enjoyed major competition success in both Canada and the U.S. that has taken him all the way to Nashville and Hollywood to perform.
Sean has had the honor of singing at the CCMA's 2010 at Rexall Place as he backed up Johnny Reid -- songwriter of the year, fan choice award recipient and winner of 13 CCMA's. With role models like Reid who construct a following of loyal fans and walk through the world with integrity, Sean is well on his way to living out his dream. In addition to working on his first CD that will be released in 2011, Sean always makes time to help others. Whether it is visiting children at Kid's Kottage, the Stollery Children's Hospital or helping out with Sport's Buddies, a sports program in the inner city, Sean will do whatever he can to provide the best for the community. His philanthropic efforts have resulted in nominations for the AFP Youth Philanthropy Heart and Soul Award and Stars of Alberta 2010.
Sean lives his life by the adage, "God's gift to you is your talent; what you do with that talent is your gift to god". With that philosophy buried deep in his heart and soul, there is no doubt that this young man will reach excellence.
As we have discovered, you never know what direction your life will take. Sean had written a song called "A Place to Call Home" after being moved by the hardships that fall upon those who end up without a home. A few months later, the Homeless Commission of Edmonton tabled their report titled A Place to Call Home. Sean knew that this was a destined moment in his life and quickly offered up his song to the Commission to use in their efforts to end homelessness.
Coming from a family where philanthropy is quite simply a way of life, as far back as grade 9, Sean took part in a leadership course at school where he decided that he wanted to raise money for Edmonton's Hot Lunch Program. This is where the "Feeding the Soul" Charity Concert was born. Over 100 youth and adults became involved in this initiative ultimately raising over $10,000.00 for this worthy program; and that was just the beginning. He has since then had the pleasure of being part of "Soaring with Song", a fundraiser put on for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation which provided him with the opportunity to share the stage with world renowned pianist William Joseph, Country Artist Brett Kissell, all the while being backed by David Foster's orchestra.
Sean has performed at Rexall Place, the Jubilee Auditorium and the Winspear Center for the Arts and has had the pleasure of performing at the closing ceremonies for the Alberta Summer Games in Peace River, several TSN recorded tournaments including the ESSO CUP, and the 2011 World Financial Group Continental Cup, and he has performed at Big Valley Jamboree for the last three years. With over 38 performances already under his belt as of April 30th, 2011, and with influences such as Amos Lee, John Mayer, Justin Nozuka, Johnny Reid, Ruthie Foster, and Jack Johnson, this engaging performer is a must to see.

Fans mourn Bee Gee Gibb
On the Hollywood Walk of Fame there's a sense of loss among fans over the death of Bee Gee Robin Gibb.
The singer, who'd been fighting colon and liver cancer, died on Sunday, aged 62.
SOUNDBITE: DAVE KENNEDY FROM BARRIE, ONTARIO, CANADA, SAYING (English):
"I just found out as I walked up here and I know he was quite ill for some time ."
SOUNDBITE: TAWNJA MABRY FROM CALIFORNIA SAYING (English):
"It's a great loss but we all must go."
SOUNDBITE: JEAN-LOUIS ROBICHAUD FROM NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA, SAYING (English):
"We're a great fan of the Bee Gees and it's sad to hear when anybody passes.
In Australia too, where Gibb and his brothers once lived and where the Bee Gees as a band was officially born, there were fond memories.
SOUNDBITE: JEFF CLARRIS, SYDNEY RESIDENT, SAYING (English):
"They lived at Cribb Island which was a bit of a poorer area and you could imagine that because they were immigrants from England, and it's very hard to go to another country and just become rich."
SOUNDBITE: DONNA THOMPSON, SYDNEY RESIDENT, SAYING (English):
"It's just so sad because when you think about all the Gibb brothers, you know, you go back to Andy and he didn't have a long life, and then neither did Maurice, and neither has Robin."
SOUNDBITE: CANADIAN TOURIST AND FORMER SYDNEY RESIDENT, DAVID FOSTER, SAYING (English):
"They were actually a pub band up in Kings Cross at one time then, the Bee Gees and they had a much nicer...it was more of a folky sound."
The death of Gibb, who'd also had a successful solo career, was announced by his family in a statement on his official website.
