In the near future of 'Infinite Jest,' the lives of residents at the Ennet House drug and alcohol rehab facility intertwine with those at the Enfield Tennis Academy. In the backdrop of a North America dominated by geopolitical upheaval and Quebecois separatism, the novel delves into the pursuit of happiness through a tapestry of addiction, entertainment, and familial dysfunction. The characters are spellbound by the allure of a film so captivating that it induces lethal enjoyment. This sprawling narrative, at once a philosophical inquiry and a riveting comedy, challenges perceptions of narrative, satisfaction, and what it means to truly entertain.
