DFW11 “Infinite Jest” (418-461) #ThursdayswithDFW – Episode 103



A discussion of the general themes of ability/disability and cleanliness to help us continue through this intermediary point in the text.

Correction: Footnote 304 explains that members of the AFR were injured as adolescents playing games of chicken on the train tracks. (I mention erroneously in the episode that members of the AFR gets their legs run over as a right of passage.)
