DFW12 “Infinite Jest” (461-503) #ThursdayswithDFW – Episode 106



A highly visual, auditory, and informative section of IJ today. The AFR is deadly. RIP Lucien.

Correction from DFW11: 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.)
