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 are.Equal 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 TimesThe next step in fiction ...
