Items related to Infinite Jest: A Novel
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.

Product Description
[ { By Wallace, David Foster ( Author ) INFINITE JEST (TENTH ANNIVERSARY) Nov-13-2006 Paperback } ]
Review
A writer of virtuostic talents who can seemingly do anything (NEW YORK TIMES)
Wallace is a superb comedian of culture . . . his exuberance and intellectual impishness are a delight (James Woods, GUARDIAN)
He induces the kind of laughter which, when read in bed with a sleeping partner, wakes said sleeping partner up . . . He's damn good (Nicholas Lezard, GUARDIAN)
One of the best books about addiction and recovery to appear in recent memory. (SUNDAY TIMES)
