    • Abstract:
      Fans and researchers now have the chance to page through the papers of the novelist David Foster Wallace, below. The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, which acquired manuscripts of his books, stories and essays in March, officially opened the archive on Tuesday. It includes material from Wallace's own library, including marked-up copies of novels by Don DeLillo and others. Wallace, whose 1996 book, ''Infinite Jest,'' won widespread acclaim, committed suicide in 2008 at 46. A posthumous novel called ''The Pale King'' is expected out next year. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
