Sinossi
In un futuro non troppo remoto e che somiglia in modo preoccupante al nostro presente, la merce, l'intrattenimento e la pubblicità hanno ormai occupato anche gli interstizi della vita quotidiana. Il Canada e gli Stati Uniti sono una sola supernazione chiamata ONAN, il Quebec insegue l'indipendenza attraverso il terrorismo, ci si droga per non morire, di noia e disperazione. E un film perduto e misterioso, "Infinite jest", dello scomparso regista James Incandenza, potrebbe diventare un'arma di distruzione di massa...

There is stuff that happens in the opening pages that explains events at the end of the book, albeit over 1000 pages and hundreds of footnotes away. I'd say it is qui Leggi tutto
Anybody who completes THE "Infinite Jest" automatically receives a medal! Really. Just read every single (fuh-cking!) word from beginning til the end, you get an award. & that's what THIS IS, basically. A badge of honor. Bragging rights. A Privilege. The experience which is so much like ogling the M Leggi tutto
“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy…” Who was David Foster Wallace ? Was he Yorick?

Muffled thumping, light feedback . 'Mmmyellow, my name is Tom and I've read Infinite Jest eight times.' Gasps, murmurs of sympathy mixed with disapproval. The chair nods. 'Step One is admitting the problem. We're glad you're here.' 'Problem? No no, see, I'm just here to borrow your PA system. New shit Leggi tutto
I should have hated this book. 1079 pages of small text with loooooonnnnggggg paragraphs and little white space so it feels like you’re reading a newspaper from 1881. Plus, 96 goddamn pages of endnotes. *1 The plot, such as it is, doesn’t really come into focus until several hundred pages into it, a Leggi tutto
