Also, what on earth is Lyle, exactly?Also, what on earth is the point of the chapter about the worker’s comp claim denial … is it just, “capitalism is le bad”?Also, was it Poor Tony that stole that one woman’s synthetic heart?
>>24091503The whole book is just description and anecdotes, so just read on. Wallace said that his inspiration for the form of the novel was switching between different tv channels on sunday afternoons, follow the same attitude I'd say.
>>24091503>Also, what on earth is Lyle, exactly?Just one of those bits of life you can't explain. >Also, what on earth is the point of the chapter about the worker’s comp claim denial … is it just, “capitalism is le bad”?It is just a sideways way of giving his "reason" for becoming an addict even though he already was an addict and the cause of the entire indecent. >Also, was it Poor Tony that stole that one woman’s synthetic heart?Yes.>>24091908He was referring too the endnotes in the way they constantly break up the narrative, not the novel as a whole.
>>24091919Title is "when does it get good". I'm just helping him set his expectations.
>>24091927So you set his expectations by offering him bullshit? I gave OP credit enough that thread title was just following the forms of /lit/, his questions suggest that as well.
Your average /Lit user reads using 20% of his humble powers of concentration , and uses the remaining 30% to think about what he is going to post in order to create the widest provocation when he finishes the line , paragraph , page , or chapter .
>>24091946Average /lit/ user does not read, just masturbates in front of everyone about being better than the average /lit/ user.
>>24091941That's exactly what the book is like - a series of stories that gather up in one big picture.
>>24091972Channel surfing on a Sunday afternoon does not add up to a larger picture. Zoomer who never channel surfed?
>>24091975That's the form of the novel, tard, not the substance.
>>24091979No, that is the idea behind the endnotes which are only a small part of the novel.
>>24091503Just 100 more pages anon
have you guys seen The End of the Tour (2015)?i saving my viewing as a reward for when I finish Infiniti Jesthttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt3416744/
>>24093965I have heard that it's bad and I don't like the actor that plays him, but I am also saving it as my reward for when I finish Infiniti Jest
>>24091503it's american slop, it only ended up in the charts because of amerisharts
the best parts are in the latter half, and also give context to the earlier chapters so they have real impact
>>24091503>Also, what on earth is the point of the chapter about the worker’s comp claim denial … is it just, “capitalism is le bad”?It hilarious and it's backstory for one of the characters. All of the questions you asked would be answered if you'd only keep reading.
>>24094396>It hilariousMaybe if you’re a heartless State Farm wagecuck it is
>>24091503Genuinely around like page 300-400 is when the book really comes together. If you've enjoyed it enough to get to 200, you'll enjoy it enough to justify pushing to when things work out.Lyle will be explained. And once you know what he is, you can begin to suspect what someone else is.
I don't remember more than lyle being hal's father
>>24091503Stop reading middlebrow slop
>>24095371>Lyle will be explained. And once you know what he is, you can begin to suspect what someone else isHow mysterious
>>24095837nah, its just bullshit.
