>1,000 page screwball comedy

So what kind of comedy is it? I read the author killed himself, so I'm guessing it's "whacky" robin williams jim carrey kind of comedy?

Is 1,000 pages too much?

Yes. Its a poor writer indeed that needs that many pages to get his point across

i don't understand you. i don't see how infinite jest could be considered a screwball comedy. it isn't fastpaced and lighthearted. "three men in a boat" is a screwball comedy.
