The book for which this blog is named is already 10 years old. So in case you were ever wondering why I go on and on about it, get a special edition copy for only $13.00! Here's a press release:"An out-of-the-box national bestseller when it was first published by Little, Brown and Company in 1996, Infinite Jest won David Foster Wallace acclaim as one of the most influential writers of his age, as well as front page rave reviews nationwide, major feature coverage, and four printings before publication. 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. Now available for a limited time only, this special edition is only $13.00 and will have a new introduction.
“A work of genius...grandly ambitious, wickedly comic, a wild, surprisingly readable tour de force.” —Seattle Times “Uproarious....It shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer of virtuosic talents who can seemingly do anything.” —New York Times
