{"product_id":"9780316066525","title":"Infinite Jest","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the pursuit of happiness in America. Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqual parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human - and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48223276728553,"sku":"9780316066525","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/5548\/7129\/files\/9780316066525.jpg?v=1742505638","url":"https:\/\/redstickreads.com\/products\/9780316066525","provider":"Red Stick Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
