'Infinite Jest' Came Out 30 Years Ago This Week

This week marks the 30th anniversary of Infinite Jest, the 1996 Clue-murder-weapon-heavy masterwork that made author David Foster Wallace a celebrity and shifted culture in an era when a genius novel still had the cachet to do that. This milestone is being remembered/monetized with a handsome Hachette reissue, complete with a foreword from Crying in H Mart author Michelle Zauner, better-or-at-least-as-well-known as the indie-pop artist Japanese Breakfast.
