  • Just published (and purchased by me): Elegant Complexity: A Study of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest by Greg Carlisle. From the book description:
    Elegant Complexity is the first critical work to provide detailed and thorough commentary on each of the 192 sections of David Foster Wallace's masterful Infinite Jest... Carlisle explains the novel's complex plot threads (and discrepancies) with expert insight and clear commentary. The book is 99% spoiler-free for first-time readers of Infinite Jest.
    I've seen some sections of this, and I get the feeling that this will become the authoritative critical book on Infinite Jest. Disclosure: I am online acquaintances with both the author and editor of this book. (15) #
