A year after reading it, things I remember about 'Infinite Jest' (a partial list)
Quebecois wheelchair assassins
Repeated and varied descriptions of the largeness of Don Gately's head
A Las Vegas crooner became president, the first president to twirl his microphone during the state of the union or whatever its called in the book, because the USA, Canada and Mexico are some sort of unified political entity
Interlace entertainment/cartridges - essentially this is Netflix
Subsidized Time - i.e. The Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment
Ambiguity as to whether one character is deformed by beauty or acid
John "No Relation" Wayne
Microwave suicide
Waste disposal via trebuchet into the 'The Great Concavity'
'The Entertainment' being fatal in that no one can ever stop watching
Mario Incandenza is a homodontic midget
The reprehensible cocaine addict from the AA recovery house who kills dogs
A kid running around with a computer monitor smashed on his head, that they can't remove right away because of the sharp screen fragments proximity to his neck
Union of the Hideously and Improbably Deformed (U.H.I.D.)
Mount Dilaudid and Lake Urine
