Talk:The Broom of the System

First novel?

For the sake of accuracy, the lead off should state that this is DFW's first published novel, or that this is the debut novel of this writer (I just added the category:debut novels). Any who...Wallace may have written a novel before this one (I don't remember hearing or reading that this was the case), and if he did, published or unpublished, that would be his "first novel".Christian Roess (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
