Beschreibung
The 30th anniversary edition of the virtuosic, wickedly comic modern classic about the pursuit of happiness in America, with a new foreword by Michelle Zauner, author of the New York Times bestselling sensation Crying in H Mart. “To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one; this is the other. ” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly Set in an addicts’ halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human—and one of those rare books that renews the idea of what a novel can do. “Uproarious. Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer … who can seemingly do anything. ” ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “The next step in fiction. Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty. Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think. ” —Sven Birkerts, The AtlanticOne of Time magazine’s “100 Best Novels” (1923—2005)
