Join 92nd Y: New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman, critic Laura Miller, author Greg Jackson, author Bennett Sims, et al., chat about David Foster Wallace and his tragicomic magnum opus, Infinite Jest, in celebration of its 30th anniversary.

A mind-altering philosophical quest and screwball comedy about the pursuit of happiness in America, Infinite Jest was a breakthrough when it was published in 1996 — not just for its young author, David Foster Wallace, but for the art of the novel.

Ranging from an addict's halfway house to an elite tennis academy to a Quebecois separatist group in possession of a lethally amusing videotape, Infinite Jest is a story about addiction, human salvation, and entertainment's power to bring us together and tear us apart: wildly brilliant, deeply moving, and more relevant than ever.
