Description
By turns scary, profound, hilarious and downright weird – sometimes all on the same page – David Foster Wallace’s sprawling epic catalogues the American psyche through militant tennis academies, bohemian addiction recovery clinics and a lost movie so powerful it can transport the viewer to catatonic nirvana. A staggering, singular achievement from a much missed talent.
'A writer of virtuostic talents who can seemingly do anything' - The New York Times
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 . . .
