“To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one; this is the other.” –Stephen King, Entertainment WeeklySet 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 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 renews the idea of what a novel can do.”Uproarious … Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer … who can seemingly do anything.”
―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times“The next step in fiction … Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty … Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think.”
–Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic
One of Time magazine’s “100 Best Novels” (1923–2005)
