Infinite Jest is a 1996 novel by David Foster Wallace. The lengthy and complex work takes place in a semi-parodic future version of North America, and touches on substance addiction recovery programs, depression, child abuse, family relationships, advertising, popular entertainment, film theory, Quebec separatism, and tennis, among other topics.
The novel includes 388 numbered endnotes (some of which have footnotes of their own) that explain or expand on points in the story. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Wallace characterized them as a method of disrupting the linearity of the text while maintaining some sense of narrative cohesion.[1]
The novel was included by Time magazine in its list of the 100 best English-language novels published since 1923.[2]
As of 2006 (ten years after its publication), 150,000 copies of Infinite Jest had been sold and the book has continued to sell steadily.[3]
Wallace was 33 when the novel was published.

评分① 连第一句话都看不懂 ★★★★★ 看到20页就搁下了。做了一个试验，撰了一个问题，故意写得很长，分三天豆油了200人，因为每天的豆油有限额。收到20条回复： 8条说不认识我叫我滚 6条？ 是太高深？我给这14个人拟了一封回信：先不管那个，唉我最近好烦，不知道...
用户评价
太美了，这本书味道很好，买来的时候不知道是印刷厂还是哪里喷的什么香水，几乎1000页的书，闻着很舒服就读了下去（当然，如果对香水过敏的话就太抱歉了...）但还是想说一句：太厚了！
评分文风我很中意，但看得我脑仁儿疼！一次不能看久了，不然会想吐！
评分已经2020了快出中文版吧
评分“Do not ask why, if you don't want to die. Do like you're told, if you want to get old. ” 整本书可以说很抑郁了…
评分意外地终于有了啃这本的心情。Wallace的传记在今年八月份出版，名为《Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace》Infinite Jest是他的成名作⋯⋯
