New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman, critic Laura Miller, author Greg Jackson, author Bennett Sims, and others join us for a roundtable conversation about David Foster Wallace and his tragicomic magnum opus, Infinite Jest, in celebration of its 30th anniversary.
A mind-altering philosophical quest and screwball comedy about the pursuit of happiness in America, Infinite Jest was a breakthrough when it was published in 1996 — not just for its young author, David Foster Wallace, but for the art of the novel. Ranging from an addict's halfway house to an elite tennis academy to a Quebecois separatist group in possession of a lethally amusing videotape, Infinite Jest is a story about addiction, human salvation, and entertainment's power to bring us together and tear us apart: wildly brilliant, deeply moving, and more relevant than ever.
