Type of Event: Lectures
Event Description: In this seminar, we’ll explore the late David Foster Wallace’s huge, sprawling, complicated novel, Infinite Jest. Published in 1996, Infinite Jest offers a parodic vision of a post-modern North America in persistently creative and often dazzling prose. Noted for its technical virtuosity and ceaseless erudition, at its core Infinite Jest is a deeply humane, unforgettable exploration of our disordered culture—one of the books that matter. Guide: Christopher Zinn is a scholar of American literature and culture. He teaches humanities at the Portland Waldorf High School.
