Infinite Jest is a 1996 novel by David Foster Wallace. The lengthy and complex work takes place in a semi-parodic future version of North America, and touches on substance addiction recovery programs, depression, child abuse, family relationships, advertising, popular entertainment, film theory, Quebec separatism, and tennis, among other topics.
The novel includes 388 numbered endnotes (some of which have footnotes of their own) that explain or expand on points in the story. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Wallace characterized them as a method of disrupting the linearity of the text while maintaining some sense of narrative cohesion.[1]
The novel was included by Time magazine in its list of the 100 best English-language novels published since 1923.[2]
As of 2006 (ten years after its publication), 150,000 copies of Infinite Jest had been sold and the book has continued to sell steadily.[3]
Wallace was 33 when the novel was published.

读后感
I had started that book after a couple of people, not close friends, but people I knew who were my age had committed suicide. It just became obvious that something was going on. For the upper-middle class, particularly younger people, things are often, mate...
评分① 连第一句话都看不懂 ★★★★★ 看到20页就搁下了。做了一个试验，撰了一个问题，故意写得很长，分三天豆油了200人，因为每天的豆油有限额。收到20条回复： 8条说不认识我叫我滚 6条？ 是太高深？我给这14个人拟了一封回信：先不管那个，唉我最近好烦，不知道...
评分 评分华莱士生于1962年，从1987年发表第一部小说开始，他的每一部作品都广受欢迎。评论家偏爱他深刻的主题，读者喜爱他幽默的笔调。华莱士自杀后，其父称华莱士患抑郁症已有20多年，长期以来一直靠药物维持写作。药物副作用过大，在医生的建议下，华莱士2007年停止服药，抑郁症随之...
评分大卫福斯特华莱士 华莱士的小说《Infinite Jest》可能是最无法翻译为其它语言的作品了。小说的美国性质很强烈，很深厚，能把这部小说读完的美国人都很少，更不用说（相对）准确地翻译成中文了。 其实也可惜，因为小说里所提出的命题其实经济高速发展的中国之后也会慢慢浮现的。...
用户评价
太美了，这本书味道很好，买来的时候不知道是印刷厂还是哪里喷的什么香水，几乎1000页的书，闻着很舒服就读了下去（当然，如果对香水过敏的话就太抱歉了...）但还是想说一句：太厚了！
评分去你妈的。一个绝顶聪明却格局太小的家伙，在自己的小世界里孤芳自赏，觉得自己周围都是金鱼，活该你抑郁。
评分网球、毒品、美加关系，这本书里有太多我不了解也不在乎的元素，看上去很牛但不知道要怎么欣赏……55页搁置。
评分断续看了一年半，暂时无法评价。需要看完相关讨论后再看一遍。
评分So brilliant that you need to wear sunglass while reading
