infinite jest

DFW's masterpiece otherwise known as the pinnacle of postmodern literary snobbery. At a whopping 1,000+ pages (some editions even reach 1,500 pages), 300+ footnotes, and a cast of characters comparable to Tolstoy's mammoth of a novel, War and Peace, Infinite Jest is everyman's trophy of intellectual-ish greatness.

Wow, you actually read Infinite Jest? Boy are you mad!

Infinite Jest

Infinite jest is a construction brick and doorstopper which contains a large amount of text. It was released by Little, Brown and Company in an attempt to enter the market spaces of both both brick construction and interior dΓ©cor during the active real estate market of the 1990's.

Some people have attempted to read the contents of the brick/doorstopper, but like breaking a normal clay brick into pieces with a sledgehammer and attempting to count them for fun, most have given up after a short time, realizing that successfully doing so would be an rather strange and unproductive feat that ultimately impresses nobody.

"I've started reading infinite jest."
"What? You're actually READING Infinite Jest???"
