Infinite Jest
by Wallace, David Foster
THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD FOR A CUSTOMER. Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1996. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. A Fine copy (a touch of soil to front of page block, a little excess glue where top of page block meets spine, expected gap at the top between page block and spine), in a Fine dust jacket, SIGNED BY DAVID FOSTER WALLACE on the title page. A Fine Copy of David Foster Wallace's magnum opus, Infinite Jest. Foster, as was his custom, lined through his printed name on the title page at the time he signed the book. Wallace's second novel, a highly original satire that brought the young author to great fame. The novel takes its name from Shakespeare's Hamlet (“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!” - “Hamlet,” Act V, Scene 1), and the title refers to a movie, Infinite Jest, sought by terrorists for its debilitating effect on viewers, producing great enjoyment that can lead even to death. As described by Bruce Weber in the New York Times (on September 18, 2008, shortly after Wallace's death), the book "perceives American society as self-obsessed, pleasure-obsessed and entertainment-obsessed. (The president, Johnny Gentle, is a former singer.) The book attracted a cult of fans (and critics too) for its subversive writing, which was by turns hallucinogenically stream of consciousness, jubilantly anecdotal, winkingly sardonic and self-consciously literary." In 2006, Michiko Kakutani, chief book critic of the New York Times, wrote: "David Foster Wallace can do practically anything if he puts his mind to it. He can do sad, funny, silly, heartbreaking and absurd with equal ease; he can even do them all at once.” Wallace won a MacArthur Foundation grant (the "genius award") the year following the book's publication. Signed copies of the first edition in hardcover are uncommon, and are especially so when in a condition this nice. A Fine copy, SIGNED BY DAVID FOSTER WALLACE.
