Beschreibung

<b>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 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling sensation <i>Crying in H Mart</i>. </b><br><br><b>“To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. <i>Catch-22</i> is one; this is the other.” —Stephen King, <i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br><br> Set in an addicts’ halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, <i>Infinite</i> 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.<br><br> 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.<br><br> “Uproarious ... Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer … who can seemingly do anything.” <b>―Michiko Kakutani, <i>The New York Times</i></b><br><br> “The next step in fiction ... Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty ... Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think.” <b>—Sven Birkerts, <i>The Atlantic</i></b><br><br><b>One of <i>Time </i>magazine’s “100 Best Novels” (1923—2005)</b>
