![]() ![]() But I would also suggest that the potential reader beware. ![]() Infinite Jest is strange, disorienting, sometimes hilarious, often disgusting, imaginative, and bizarre. So I read it in snatches, as often as I could, and I know there’s a lot more I could have gotten from it if I’d been able to focus more wholly. Initially, I started it as a night-time, up-with-baby read but the book was too physically large for me to read while also holding Pearl and it was too dense and complex for my middle-of-the-night baby brain to comprehend. This book took me months to read and it probably wasn’t until I was halfway through that I felt like I knew what was going on. Almost two hundred of those pages are footnotes extensive, detailed footnotes that you absolutely cannot skip reading. Where do I even start to talk about Infinite Jest? This book is over one thousand pages long. Infinite Jest – David Foster Wallace (Back Bay Books, 2006) ![]()
