Infinite Jest has been hailed as one the great modern American
novels and its author, David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide
in 2008, as one of the most influential and innovative authors of
the past 20 years. Don DeLillo called Infinite Jest a "three-stage
rocket to the future," a work "equal to the huge, babbling spin-out
sweep of contemporary life," while Time Magazine included Infinite
Jest on its list of 100 Greatest Novels published between
1923-2006.
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader's Guide was the
first book to be published on the novel and is a key reference for
those who wish to explore further. Infinite Jest has become an
exemplar for difficulty in contemporary Fiction--its 1,079 pages
full of verbal invention, oblique narration, and a scattered,
nonlinear, chronology. In this comprehensively revised second
edition, Burn maps Wallace's influence on contemporary American
fiction, outlines Wallace's poetics, and provides a full-length
study of the novel, drawing out the most important themes and
ideas, before surveying Wallace's post-Infinite Jest output,
including The Pale King.
