Infinite Jest (1996) By David Foster Wallace A Ten Commandments-size cast populates this rule-breaking modern classic, infamous for sprawling prose, endless footnotes,1 and a madcap depiction of the future.2 Confounding and delightful in equal measure, Jest takes place in the 'burbs of Boston,3 between a halfway house and a nearby tennis academy. Wallace had one of his central characters take his own life, and in a tragic true-life twist, Wallace did the same, leaving behind a magnum opus that will be argued and digested for infinity. Serve up a tennis-ball-yellow cocktail that mimics the zest and bounce of one fallen literary legend. Ingredients:
2 ounces vodka |
1 ounce limoncello |
1/2 ounce lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Minding that tennis elbow, shake the ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Head back to the court, sport, and never give up on your game.
2. 1Just like this, but they appeared at the end of the bookâover four hundred of 'em!2Time is marked with corporate sponsorships, as in the Year of the Perdue Wonderchicken.3Wallace briefly studied philosophy at Harvard (who hasn't?) and later taught at Emerson.
