Dave Eggers wrote a brilliant introduction for the tenth anniversary of Infinite Jest.
It’s funny, I connect that book to so many things. It was an albatross that I carried around with me, replete with two bookmarks, one for the book itself and one for the footnotes (which I did read in their entirety), around San Francisco one summer. It was my bus read. I can still see myself there, on the 5 Fulton, fully absorbed, missing my stop yet again.
