Infinite Jest is a satiric description of  North American culture at the end of the millenium, and  will give the literary critics something to feed on for much of  the next century. It features a tennis academy for prodigies, a halfway house for recovering drug addicts, and a film so entertaining that watching it becomes its viewer's only desire.
