Infinite Jest Book Club
IJBC and FellowshipThis is an experiment. We are attempting to turn our book club Zoom calls into a podcast series. We will be reading, discussing, and dissecting Infinite Jest, written by David Foster Wallace. This group is comprised of mostly repeat readers of the novel, so spoilers may abound. Addendum- We are rolling now. Try as we may, inevitably we will skip over parts that you may have found noteworthy, or we... more

All the podcast members know the book better than I will ever be able to. Special thanks to Jamie for being the glue holding everything together.

United States2 months ago - Absurdly just into infinite interest
I just finished and found this 90% through the book. There are times where it’s Jamie yammering but that’s the beauty of the whole experiment. A teacher who has to poke and prod student minds also pokes and prods adult minds that need to pull all the thoughts out of all the heads of persistent readers.
Every encyclopedic book like Ulysses, Hamlet, Infinite Jest, Gravity’s Rainbow should all have a book club or re-read with normal folks to guests like The Great Concavity podcast and a few... more

As a re-reader of IJ, I’m really enjoying listening to this podcast and hearing other peoples’ views on the novel. There are so many things going on, so many links across the it’s sections, and so much that David Foster Wallace subtly hints at.
This podcast is helping me pick up on things I hadn’t noticed, and recognise other links that haven’t necessarily been mentioned.
Good work all - I’m really enjoying each episode. Just like with Infinite Jest, they’re each worth multiple listens!

Hi- I haven’t been able to join the Zoom sessions in real time but I’m finding the recordings to be really helpful. I’m on my second trip through the book. I read it 5 years ago and by the time Gately was in the hospital with The Wraith hanging around I was just done. Listening to these discussions has provided me with more insight as well as ideas about certain plot lines and characters I haven’t thought of. Thank you for sharing the recordings!
