Welcome to our small, clever room!

We went back and recorded this mini-episode when we were a little more than halfway through the book because we realized our first episode didn't do a great job of introducing us or what you could expect from the podcast. Welcome! This podcast is a book club where we read and talk about Infinite Jest, the 1996 novel by David Foster Wallace. It's a book about tennis, experimental film, depression, addiction, experimental tennis, global politics, recovery, and a few other things. Trigger warnings for Infinite Jest Sexual Assault Abuse Child abuse/pedophilia/incest Animal cruelty or animal death Self-harm and suicide Eating disorders, body hatred, and fat phobia Violence Kidnapping and abduction Death or dying Blood Mental illness and ableism Racism and racial slurs Sexism and misogyny Classism Transphobia and trans misogyny Homophobia and heterosexism Addiction and drug use [based on the University of Michigan LSA Inclusive Teaching Initiative's list of potential trigger warnings] Our first episode starts with pages 1–49 of the paperback edition.
