James Igoe's Reviews > Infinite Jest

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fantastic writer, often disgusting material... A great writer, and a fascinating and engaging book, but as I finished, it seemed that the metaphor of the video tape, the one that leads to death, is this book. I was tempted to quit when I started to read how this was ‘bro-lit’, as well as thinking Of the uglIness of the settings and of the people, but was drawn back. I finish what I start. That said, there were many appealing aspects, those, and the quality of the writing make this worth the effort... View all my reviews
