not sure if you’re still accepting drawing requests that pertain to infinite jest, but if you are … could I request some pemcandenza in this trying time 🙇‍♂️

sorry i died ! anyway, perhaps your trying times have passed, but here is pemcandenza anyway, vaguely inspired by olivia’s new song titled purple that i love.

A Reddit post has just informed me of a website which I will link very soon called Infinite Digest which maps the subplots and storylines of Infinite Jest chronologically and links them through the story’s timeline. So I’m scrolling through and I’m hit with this:

I want to talk more about infinite jest but I’m still struggling to verbalise everything I’m thinking and feeling surrounding it and I don’t even know if I’m being histrionically excited about it or if it’s actually is that good or if it’s one of those situations that you have when you read a Shakespeare and have to admit that Fine, Shakespeare is that good actually. Or if it’s all pretentious drivel. Or both or neither. Fucking hell. Learning a lot about tennis (at least philosophically?) though but I’ve yet to read anyone actually play ??

* The Ford Focus was a type of horse drawn carriage invented in Ankh-Morpork by a rather distracted professor named Ford. Legend has it the vehicle got its name because Ford’s passengers always had to shout at him to pay attention to the road.

David Foster Wallace using endnotes:

I am addicted to marijuana*

* Marijuana is a drug. Look how many other drugs I can name: Crystal meth, heroin, LSD, cocaine, ritalin, valium —
