ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace unfolds in a near-future North America. The story centers around the Enfield Tennis Academy, a training ground for elite junior players, and a nearby residential facility for substance abuse recovery called Ennet House. The narrative explores the intertwined lives of the students, the recovering addicts, and various enigmatic individuals involved with a legendary and dangerously seductive piece of entertainment, a film so engrossing it incapacitates its viewers. The quest to find or control this "Entertainment" drives much of the plot, touching upon themes of addiction, entertainment's power and potential for escapism, family dynamics, and the search for meaning in a hyper-mediated world. Geopolitical tensions and the legacy of the Incandenza family also play significant roles.
