Somewhere in the not-so-distant future the residents of Ennet House, a Boston halfway house for recovering addicts, and students at the nearby Enfield Tennis Academy are ensnared in the search for the master copy of INFINITE JEST, a movie said to be so dangerously entertaining its viewers become entranced and expire in a state of catatonic bliss . . . 'Wallace's exuberance and intellectual impishness are a delight, and he has deep things to say about the hollowness of contemporary American pleasure . . . sentences and whole pages are marvels of cosmic concentration . . . Wallace is a superb comedian of culture' James Wood, GUARDIAN
David Foster Wallace
David Foster Wallace was an American novelist, essayist, and professor known for his complex, innovative writing style and exploration of contemporary American culture. His most notable works include the novel "Infinite Jest," a sprawling, dense epic that has become a cult classic, and the essay collection "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." Wallace's writing is characterized by its wit, intelligence, and deep insight into the human condition. He is considered one of the most influential writers of his generation, and his work has had a lasting impact on the literary world. Tragically, Wallace struggled with depression and took his own life in 2008 at the age of 46.
