Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human -- and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do. \"The next step in fiction...Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty...Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think.\" --Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081295315113,"sku":"PHBK-9780316602921","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/content_ef6dd11f-f107-441a-a323-3026eb971c4b.jpg?v=1779212811","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9780316602921","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
