Publisher Description
'A writer of virtuostic talents who can seemingly do anything' New York Times
'Wallace is a superb comedian of culture . . . his exuberance and intellectual impishness are a delight' James Wood, Guardian
'He induces the kind of laughter which, when read in bed with a sleeping partner, wakes said sleeping partner up . . . He's damn good' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
'One of the best books about addiction and recovery to appear in recent memory' Sunday Times
Somewhere in the not-so-distant future the residents of Ennet House, a Boston halfway house for recovering addicts, and students at the nearby Enfield Tennis Academy are ensnared in the search for the master copy of Infinite Jest, a movie said to be so dangerously entertaining its viewers become entranced and expire in a state of catatonic bliss . . .

Rare Jewel of a Narrator
I’ve already read the book twice so it would seem somewhat superfluos to listen to its audiobook. And I wouldn’t usually, most audiobooks, I mean the vast majority of the ones I’ve sampled I find… irritating at best. But Sean Pratt is incredible. I’d been listening to this on Spotify Premium for a while now but I cancelled the service which means I no longer have access to the audiobook. So… I bought it! Quite honestly love filling in moments of the day with this one, walking, cooking, cleaning. Or just sitting down and listening. Cannot overstate how much I enjoy it. Thank you Mr Pratt! Wish you’d done the endnotes too but I suppose we can’t get everything in this life haha.
