by David Foster Wallace; Foreword by Tom Bissell
About this book
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace is a complex and sprawling novel that explores a dystopian future where entertainment has reached extreme levels of addiction and obsession. Set in a near-future North America that is comprised of Mexico, the US and Canada, the story revolves around the Enfield Tennis Academy and a halfway house located in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, and divided by a hillside. A mysterious film titled Infinite Jest is rumored to be so entertaining that it drives viewers insane. The narrative weaves together various storylines, delving into themes of addiction, depression, loneliness, and the search for meaning in a fragmented and chaotic world. Wallace's intricate prose, extensive footnotes, and dark humor challenge readers while offering a profound exploration of contemporary society's struggles and desires. Infinite Jest was considered by Time Magazine as one of the TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
