'Infinite Jest' Turns 30
from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC
The epic and challenging novel Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace turns 30 this month. It's a novel that has become a kind of statement piece. Finishing it earns the reader bragging rights, and inspires much discussion-- but what does it mean 30 years later? Author Hermione Hoby discusses her piece in The New Yorker, "'Infinite Jest' Has Turned Thirty. Have We Forgotten How to Read It?" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
