@ NOON: Draxtor Despres presents Selections from David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest" (1996)
A gargantuan, mind-altering tragi-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.
Infinite Jest has an unconventional narrative structure and
includes hundreds of extensive endnotes, some with footnotes of their own, and
is categorized as an encyclopedic novel. Wallace’s novel is featured in Time
magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923
and 2005.
A literary fiction bestseller after having sold 44,000 hardcover copies in its first year of publication, the novel has since sold more than a million copies worldwide
