Infinite Jest : A NovelWallace, David Foster
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
An original and exciting debut, set in 1990 Cleveland, where a bewitching heroine who works for a screwed-up publishing firm is caught up with her not-so-hot lover/boss, her grandmother--who has just run away from her nursing home--and her pet cockatiel, whose verbal banter makes him a target for religious fundamentalists.
"A manic, human, flawed extravaganza...emerging straight from the excessive tradition of Stanly Elkin's 'Franchiser', Thomas Pynchon's 'V', John Irving's 'The World According to Garp'."
New York Times Book Review
Review:"['The Broom of the System'] elicited cries of 'Pynchonesque!' from diverse quarters; some of them to be sure, using the adjective in its usual sense, i.e., as reviewer's code for 'I didn't finish it,' others so besotted with Pynchon that they see his scat everywhere, a few finding genuine similarities."
David Kipen, Los Angeles Times Book Review, 2/11/1996
