DFW12 “Infinite Jest” (461-503) #ThursdayswithDFW – Episode 106

A highly visual, auditory, and informative section of IJ today. The AFR is deadly. RIP Lucien. Correction from DFW11: Footnote 304 explains that members of the AFR were injured as adolescents playing games of chicken on the train tracks. (I mention erroneously in the episode that members of the AFR gets their legs run over as a right of passage.) -- Open Survey: https://forms.gle/zSV7uQexiUk8SWfR8 What book is this?  https://www.relevanceofliterature.com/infinite-jest Terminology for this chapter: https://www.relevanceofliterature.com/infinite-jest-1 About DFW: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/03/09/the-unfinished .pdf of the Novel (page numbers different): https://raisuman123.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/david-foster-wallace-infinite-jest-v2-0.pdf Comments or questions?
