Wait, it uses endnotes not footnotes? God damn, Foster Wallace was a sadist.

I've read some of his essays, he was a good writer. I may read infinite jest one day, my partner enjoyed it.

yeah, and the endnotes themselves are a trip. they're like a quasiacademic experiment in writing. i'm a big nerd so i enjoyed the pedantry of its formatting, but it also has a lot of interesting things to say about addiction and entertainment that remain extremely relevant today.
