DFW was one of the first authors I remember actively pursuing every time I went to the bookstore. I bought "Infinite Jest" first, as that was the one making so many waves at the time. I have not yet been successful in my attempts to finish the book, though. I did, however, enjoy several of his other, lesser acclaimed books.
So it's interesting to see what kind of class he would teach. What kinds of books would he want his students to read and the reasoning for said choices, which isn't always laid out on a professor's syllabus.
