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.

評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。...
