I feel so proud. So has anyone here actually finished reading Infinite Jest? More importantly, if you've gotten to the last page of the book, are you actually finished, or did you feel the urge to start over again and figure out what the hell you missed?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 5 replies </div> Tue, 10 Feb 2004 06:31:40 GMT http://infinitejest.tribe.net/thread/bb988588-0fa4-4d5f-8320-e35d59cff39e Kristal 2004-02-10T06:31:40Z http://infinitejest.tribe.net/thread/3e132bac-c4a2-44d6-9234-847f646896c2 <div>David Foster Wallace will be here in SF on June 17 at 8 pm. More info: <br/> <br/>http://www.cityboxoffice.com/orderticketsarea.asp?p=1218&amp;a=1153&amp;backurl=eventcategory%2Easp%3Fc%3D18%26pg%3D <br/> <br/>I'm really looking forward to it. Here's the event description from the above link, sadly lacking details/footnotes: <br/> <br/>-- <br/>Though David Foster Wallace admits to "devoting a lot of energy to creating expectations and then taking pleasure in disappointing them," he clearly takes fiction to a new level. His epic second novel, Infinite Jest, doesn't disappoint critics or readers. It spans 1076 pages, three plot lines, and a large section of endnotes and has earned Wallace the title of "most important writer of his generation." Equally talented in non-fiction, Wallace tackles subjects ranging from hip-hop culture to the dregs of cruise vacations in his popular journalism. <br/> <br/>David Foster Wallace grew up on an Illinois farm and studied creative writing at the University of Arizona. Meticulous, intelligent, and undeniably funny, Wallace recently completed the non-fiction work, Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity, as well as a new book of short stories, Oblivion. He teaches Creative Writing at Pomona College. <br/>--</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 1 reply </div> Tue, 18 May 2004 02:30:50 GMT http://infinitejest.tribe.net/thread/3e132bac-c4a2-44d6-9234-847f646896c2 Jason 2004-05-18T02:30:50Z
