Infinite Jest Book Club

This is part 3 of our discussion series on Infinite Jest. Participation in the prior parts is not a requirement, anyone is welcome to join in.

This meeting will be dedicated to talking about the first 785 pages of Infinite Jest. We will be reading up until "17 November Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment"

We will also be discussing some of David Foster Wallaces essays. The essays we will cover are

• "Shipping Out" (aka A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again)
• "E Unibus Pluram"
• "The View From Mrs. Thompson's"
• "Getting Away From Already Being Pretty Much Away From it All"

They are not mandatory but reading these is highly encouraged.

Feel free to read ahead but the discussion will only cover up until this point.

This will be the third of four meetings planned for Infinite Jest. These meetings will be scheduled monthly.

We will be meeting in the National Portrait Gallery Atrium.
