As I’m sure many of you have done, I spent a while last night looking at the Infinite Jest page on Wikipedia and thought it was pretty cool. This got me thinking about what other recourses might be out there tho, and a quick search found some really cool stuff I thought I should share.

Maybe the coolest is an online scene by scene guide available at:
http://faculty.sunydutchess.edu/oneill/Infinite.htm
it doesn’t go very in depth, but it is soooo helpful for finding scenes and keeping track of what order things happen in. it’s a lot like the many scene by scene guides we’ve had from various presenters.

Then there is an online index at

that indexes mentions of just about everything and explains many of the references. This is very useful if only just for being searchable.

There are also a number of character guides, but none is all that complete. The wikipedia one is pretty good tho.

In any case, I hope either or both of these is as helpful to you all as it has been for me. See you in class in…half an hour.
