Reading Infinite Jest: Don DeLillo, Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan, Don Gately, David Foster Wallace, Mom and other shores

http://readinginfinitejest.blogspot.com/2012/01/don-delillo-lenny-bruce-bob-dylan-don.html

Friday, January 6, 2012. Don DeLillo, Lenny Bruce, Bob Dylan, Don Gately, David Foster Wallace, Mom and other shores. Inevitably I return to Infinite Jest. Here's how it happened this time:. I'm nearing the end of reading Don DeLillo's Underworld - a fabulous book given to me by - of course - the Abbot - the man who started me on this Infinite Jest business in the first place. And who can resist Dylan? So I click. And the click takes me to the lyrics to Dylan's "Lenny Bruce" song. So I'm wondering did Wa...

Reading Infinite Jest: Pencil Marks In Stephen Burn's Reader's Guide To Infinite Jest:

http://readinginfinitejest.blogspot.com/2009/09/pencil-marks-in-stephen-burns-readers.html

Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Pencil Marks In Stephen Burn's Reader's Guide To Infinite Jest:. This transcription of my pencil marks may not make sense to you but they do make some sense to me:. Burns is in black. I am in red. 12 - the kind of emptiness in high talent. That Wallace found at the end of his mathematical career. 14 - idea of art being a living transaction between humans. 15 - his goal of human connection. 19 - flows of data more vast than anything the world has seen before. Perhaps most imp...

Reading Infinite Jest: Uplifting?

http://readinginfinitejest.blogspot.com/2009/08/uplifting.html

Tuesday, August 11, 2009. No - this doesn't look right. As you can see I've suspended the now tied-up pages of IJ from a ceiling hook. I thought that perhaps to have the pages in the air, or moving "up" toward the heavens would capture the power of the book. But I get nothing inspiring from this, nothing beautiful and nothing close to an image of string theory. August 11, 2009 at 11:22 AM. Also noteworthy, DeLillos new novel has an infinity sign on the cover. August 11, 2009 at 11:41 AM. N, pl -ta (-tə).

Reading Infinite Jest: Another Gift From The Abbot

http://readinginfinitejest.blogspot.com/2009/08/another-gift-from-abbot.html

Monday, August 31, 2009. Another Gift From The Abbot. A Readers Guide to Infinite Jest. By Stephen Burn. Thanks very much Abbot. Good thing I bumped into you in the real-not-virtual-world. As I mentioned to you, IJ has so sparked me as a reader that I have become a regular at Amazon and local bookstores - and I therefore didnt initially know that this book was from you when it arrived in cardboard at my door. Question is should I start reading it? So maybe Ill just read a page or two of the guide. An err...
