Infinite Jest Lesson Plan

Relationship to Other Books

Infinite Jest is often called a postmodern novel, and so readily invites comparisons to other such novels, such as Don DeLillo's White Noise, Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, and Laurence Sterne's The Life And Opinions of Tristram Shandy. For a more accessible (in length and content) introduction to Wallace's writing style, consider his classic article A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again.
