发帖数: 10518 | 1 Infinite Jest is a 1996 novel by David Foster Wallace. The lengthy and
complex work takes place in a North American dystopia, centering on a junior
tennis academy and a nearby substance-abuse recovery center. The novel
touches on many topics, including addiction and recovery, suicide, family
relationships, entertainment and advertising, film theory, United States-
Canada relations (as well as Quebec separatism), and tennis. The novel
includes 388 endnotes that cap almost a thousand pages of prose, which,
together with its detailed fictional world, have led to its categorization
as an encyclopedic novel.[citation needed] |
