Infinite Jest - A Self Help Book

i was struck by how wallace knew exactly what depression likecause when you're depressed, you don't have the energy to express these emotions in a work of fiction. So i think wallac did be incredible here, with infinitjesty, he plumbed the depths of despair and came out with this this uplifting and, in life affirming style. An infinite jest, more than any other character in wallace's works, is the epitome of thi tis new sincerity movement. Byes a holy fool saintlike young man was horribly disfigured, but he's like an open book, ind a ray of light, despite everything.
