Infinite Jest(1996)

David Foster Wallace

Somewhere in the not-so-distant future the residents of Ennet House, a Boston halfway house for recovering addicts, and students at the nearby Enfield Tennis Academy are ensnared in the search for the master copy of "Infinite Jest", a movie said to be so dangerously entertaining its viewers become entranced and expire in a state of catatonic bliss...

In a sprawling, wild, super-hyped magnum opus, David Foster Wallace fulfills the promise of his precocious novel "The Broom of the System".

Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, "Infinite Jest" bends every rule of fiction, features a huge cast and multilevel narrative, and questions essential elements of American culture - our entertainments, our addictions, our relationships, our pleasures, our abilities to define ourselves.
