The veiled women and a conceit of 'all men reincarnate and marry their mother/wife/killer' (the exact details escape me)

I don't know why this name popped up btw
>>
>>7989448
The scrolling words of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace in a never-ending loop.
>>
That's a part of the book I never understood. What's so fatally compelling about a drunk guy shouting "David Foster Wallace!" from a car window?

>>7991037

>>7991048
why the hype, then? is it fiction?

>>7991037
Infinite Jest is like a giraffe. Interesting at first, fascinating, many details, but some parts are long and gimmicky and it soons end up boring.

>>7991062
"Genius author what hanged himself's 1,000-page masterpiece" is a compelling story.

I thought it was the chick who was hot beyond all belief, something with a J I think, talking in a baby voice while dressed in a toga while extremely pregnant.

>>7989557
Link video? I can't find it for some reason but it's p funny.

>>7991098
Yeah, basically this shot through a fisheye lens from the perspective of an infant in a bassinet.

>>7991074

But it already got hype and praise before Wallace killed himself

>>7991139
"Genius author's 1,000 page masterpiece" is a story almost as compelling!
>>
Its symbolized entertainment in general. Stuff like browsing the web/watching tv/ whatever you let entertain you.

>what's on the cartridge that makes you waste the rest of your life in front of a screen, willing to do anything to return when the screen is removed?
