Add a CommentI was curious about DFW, yet "Infinite Jest" just seemed WAY too long for an introduction. His debut novel, "Broom of The System", answered my questions. Great writing, interspersed with experimental, tedious, italics stream-of-consciousness that I found myself skipping through. He obviously knew a lot about psychoanalysis and philosophy. I get it, but think I'm done. Isn't brevity the soul of wit?
