    "A virtuoso display of styles and themes...There is generous intelligence and authentic passion on every page." -- Time, "A work of genius...grandly ambitious, wickedly comic, a wild, surprisingly readable tour de force."-- Seattle Times, "Uproarious... Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer of virtuosic talents who can seemingly do anything."-- Michiko Kakutani , New York Times

    Synopsis
    A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human - and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do., A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human -- and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do. With a foreword by Tom Bisell. "The next step in fiction...Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty...Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think." -- Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic

        No kidding

        This book about addiction, entertainment and compulive behavior should have a warning label that it is itself addictive while also intelligence inducing. At about 1000 pages, it gives a person a feeling that they have a large stash but I recommend pacing oneself, such as reserving it for a month of Sundays rather than the solid month spent doing little but reading described by the writer of the forward.

      • Long but worth the effort methinks.

        Reading this book to the very end is on my life bucket list. Could have gotten from library but it’s a huge book. Best read over time. Sad this author committed suicide. He had a great mind.

      • My favorite book of all time. along with Gravity's Rainbow.

        Read it before, in 1990.. Lost my copy, so bought this one to read again and see if it still reesonantes.

      • A great read

        But keep a dictionary handy as the author has an expansive vocabulary

      • A book I cannot put down

        Extraordinary value. $5 for a $35 book. Near new condition (probably only read once before by a book loving / respecting reader). Great book. Much fun. David Foster Wallace at his comical best (... may he rest in peace).
