David Foster Wallace’s relentless Doorstopper of a novel, first published in 1996. Infinite Jest takes place in the not-too-distant future, around the Enfield Tennis Academy and the neighboring Ennet House Drug and Alcohol Recovery House in suburban Boston. There are roughly four narrative threads through the novel: The lives of the students training and studying at Enfield, founded by auteur James O. "Himself" Incandenza, mother Avril "Moms" Incandenza and Avril's adopted brother Charles "C.T." Tavis. Various Boston residents such as Don Gately and Joelle Van Dyne who hit rock bottom with their drug and alcohol addictions and turn to Ennet House as well as AA and NA meetings in order to stay on the wagon. The Organization of North American Nations, or O.N.A.N and a group of radical Québécois separatists known as Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents' (The Wheelchair Assassins) efforts to seek a film called Infinite Jest, directed by James O. Incandenza and rumored to be so absorbing that anyone who sees loses all other interests and eventually dies. The history of the Incandenzas, with a focus on the youngest son Hal.On top of all that, the novel deals with issues like the nature of the self, family, emptiness and absence, addiction and recovery, and the minutia of tennis, there's just no way to adequately summarize this massively complex novel here. With nearly 100 pages of end notes, this may be one of the only novels for which you will need to use two bookmarks simultaneously. | |

| Infinite Jest / int_1667cb1 | comment |
Calvinball: One of the courts at the ETA is intricately painted with a map of the Earth and all its nations. Its only use is for a training game of nuclear geopolitics called "Eschaton", which has become something of an Academy tradition. True to the trope, all that is made explicitly clear is that nuclear strikes are represented by serving tennis balls onto the map; the rest of the rules are stated to be so complex that they can only be understood through total memorization. This part of the book has actually been adapted as a music video, for "The Calamity Song" by The Decemberists. | |

All There in the Manual: The book's extensive end notes. Some of them play with the trope by being so long and complex as to effectively constitute additional book chapters. Given the novel's Anachronic Order, you could stick them almost anywhere in the narrative proper and it wouldn't change a thing. | |

Title Drop: Zig-Zagged. "Infinite Jest" is the title of James Incandenza's brain-destroying cartridge, but said title only appears in endnote 24, his filmography. In the narration, it's only ever called "the Entertainment" or "the samizdat". | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Infinite Jest / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Standard procedure for the A.F.R. They seem to be particularly fond of using railroad spikes. Self-inflicted by James Incandenza, who puts his head in a microwave oven, which apparently caused said head to "pop like an uncut spud". He may have been trying to destroy the cartridge implanted in his brain. | |

More likely a case of Crapsack World with regard to DRM.

Accidental Athlete | |
| Infinite Jest / int_2edc82a0 | comment |
Accidental Athlete: Orin Incandenza, the older brother in the family, starts out playing tennis, and is really good at it. He goes to Boston University, and finding that college tennis doesn't really suit him, he tries out for the football team, only to find that he isn't big enough. As he is leaving the try-out, he punts a football, and the coach realizes he is a really good kicker...because of the tennis (tennis has a tendency to really work out one's leg muscles and often leaves one side stronger than the other, to boot). | |

Author Vocabulary Calendar | |
| Infinite Jest / int_5bc1ce14 | comment |
Author Vocabulary Calendar: A novel this size, one could be forgiven for assuming this out of hand, but nope. Aside from some Future Slang and tennis terminology (which is always explained), conversational English reigns throughout. Admittedly, there are a fair number of oddball ten-dollar words tossed in... but only where it would suit the voice of the viewpoint character, in which case it's seamlessly blended into ordinary conversational English. Played with to go along with the theme of everyone being full of things that are impossible to communicate. Say, early on, when James Incandenza mentions a few hugely important plot points, but before you have the context to know why they're important, and in such dense, obscure words that your eyes slide right off. | |

Brown Note | |
| Infinite Jest / int_5db59a03 | comment |
Brown Note: The eponymous "Entertainment" is a short film apparently so captivating that anyone unfortunate enough to see it will become hopelessly and irreversibly addicted to it, wanting to do nothing but continue watching it again and again, even at the cost of physical harm to themselves. According to a source that may or may not be reliable, it features the World's Most Beautiful Woman apologizing to her baby/the viewer, probably for killing them in their previous life. | |

Future Slang | |
| Infinite Jest / int_60441d9 | comment |
Future Slang: Inspired by the creation of The Great Concavity/Convexity, the word "map" has come to mean "face," and so to "erase someone's map" has come to mean murder or horrible disfigurement, while "erasing your own map" refers to suicide. There's also local Boston slang, some of which (like "mitt" for "meter") is almost certainly fictional, while some (like "eating cheese" for "ratting someone out") might or might not be. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Infinite Jest / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: David Foster Wallace was a pretty good tennis player in his youth, reaching the top levels of junior tennis in high school. It makes some sense that he'd set some of the novel around a tennis academy. Author Avatar: Hal Incandenza resembles Wallace himself in his youth to some degree. However, the trope is not used in any way beyond these resemblances simply existing. Indeed, although his empathy for the character is obvious, one would have to have read Wallace's biography and probably some of his nonfiction to even see the actual similarities. Also, James' work is described once or twice as deliberately abstruse and unentertaining, seeming in some ways hostile to the audience. | |

Shout-Out to Shakespeare: Hamlet references abound. The title is pinched from a monologue by the perplexed prince himself. Himself's film company is named Poor Yorick Entertainment. Both stories prominently feature usurped father figures. Hamlet begins with a question: "Who's there?" IJ begins by answering "I am." There's also a pair of janitors who bear a striking resemblance to Hamlet's gravedigger. | |

Really Gets Around: By most reports, Avril Incandenza would sleep with anything male, except for her husband. Orin seems to have inherited this particular trait. | |

Evil Cripple | |
| Infinite Jest / int_c0afd51a | comment |
Evil Cripple: Les Assassins des Fauteuils Rollents, a.k.a. The Wheelchair Assassins of Southern Québec. How there's so many of these guys who need wheelchairs is explained by a game that kids in the area play: trying to jump across train tracks at the last possible second before the train comes. | |

Show Within a Show: Mario's puppet show, several excerpts from James O. Incandenza's filmography. The aforementioned puppet show, which is intended as a political satire, also serves as a framing device for most of what we know of the Gentle administration. | |

Fun with Acronyms: In spades. For starters, America, Canada, and Mexico have merged to form the Organization of North American Nations, or O.N.A.N. Rest assured that the term 'O.N.A.Nistic' appears at some point. Also the 'Union of the Hideously and Improbably Deformed' (UHID), whose members wear a face-concealing veil in public. Let's not forget the Wounded, Hurting, Inadequately Nurtured but Ever-Recovering Survivors (WHINERS). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Infinite Jest / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Don W. Gately shares his initials with famous film director D. W. Griffith. Likely intentional, given the prominent role film art plays in the book. The chapter concerning yrstruly, and his dealing with "C", is written in the style of William S. Burroughs, particularly Naked Lunch. | |

Footnote Fever | |
| Infinite Jest / int_d05cf3f | comment |
Footnote Fever: The story proper ends at page 981, with the remaining 96 pages being taken up by 388 end notes, some of which are several pages long, and a few more which have their own footnotes and/or end notes. Readers quickly figure out that the only way to avoid permanent damage is to use two bookmarks: One for your place in the main text, and the other for where you are in the end notes. Wallace said in interviews that he wanted to fracture the text while still leaving it readable. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
| Infinite Jest / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: It's never specified, but from some references to characters' ages and the approximate beginning of "Subsidized Time," you can extrapolate that the plot takes place sometime in the first decade or so of the 21st Century, 10-15 years after the book was published. There is a reference to "the Limbaugh administration." And later a reference to a poster of Limbaugh "from before the assassination" (929). Judging by some of the dates we’re given, it seems likely that the first year of Subsidized Time would have been 2002. The Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment, when the majority of the story takes place, is probably 2009, 13 years after the book was published. | |
