Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, 1st edition

First edition hardcover of "Infinite Jest" in later state dust jacket -- "Vollmann" spelled correctly on the back. Wallace's epic is famous for its length and perhaps a certain smugness one assumes about a person reading it. What internet memes usually fail to mention is that "Infinite Jest" is a fascinating, funny and compelling narrative on everything from academia and tennis, literature and the modern addictions to entertainment. In this bookseller's opinion, this is a read that is at once challenging and fun. Textblock bears a little wear and smudging to bottom corner of pages. Jacket is sharp with some mild surface wear. Boards in blue cloth wrapped in blue paper. Some sunning to the tops of the boards. 1079 pp including footnotes.
