Infinite Jest

By David Foster Wallace

Back Bay, 1,079 pages, $19.95 paper

Published just a decade ago, this edgy, witty book seems to foreshadow the big novels that followed. “Infinite Jest” takes on questions we are talking about today–What is entertainment and how does it affect human connection?–in a way that seemed wildly experimental. Readers (like this one) who didn’t care for the book the first time may succumb to its ambition and vision now.
