Reader's guide to endnote numbers for the novel "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace

 

Page/Endnote Cross-Index for Infinite Jest

A brilliant masterpiece, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace is an unusually long and complex novel. It includes essential content in the form of copious endnotes: viz., 388 numbered notes placed at the end of the novel. 

This index allows the reader to locate the page number where each of the book's endnote numbers appears in superscript in the main body of the novel. 

This is particularly useful to those who listen to the Hatchett Audio audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt, (ISBN 9781611133868) because the endnotes themselves are not included. Instead, the voiced endnote number is inserted where it appears in the novel, and the reader must then consult the printed copy of the book for the endnote content. 

It thus becomes useful to be able to see the endnote in context on the corresponding page; e.g.: 375: 143, 144 indicates that endnote numbers 143 and 144 will be found on page 375.

Source: this data comes from the two principal print editions of the book: hardcover: Little, Brown and Company, 1996 (ISBN 978-0-316-92004-9) and paperback: the Black Bay Books imprint of Little, Brown and Company, 1997 (ISBN 978-0-316-06652-5). (Pagination is the same for both.)

Liberace and Edward R. Murrow

Image
Tacit defense of gay marriage, notice how very deftly Liberace chooses his words: Edward R. Murrow: Have you given much thought to getting married and eventually settling down? Liberace: Well, actually I have. Ed. I've given a lot of thought to marriage, but I don't believe in getting married just for the sake of getting married. I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union. In fact, I was reading about lovely young Princess Margaret, and she's looking for her dream man, too. I hope she finds him some day. Liberace on Edward R. Murrow's television show Person to Person January 6, 1956 Later in the interview Liberace makes some flirty comments about the young, pretty, and single Princess Margaret, implying that he might want to marry her. Royal glam and glitter enough to make him switch teams? This DVD set is a remarkable 3-disc collection of historic 1950s material. ...

The Eternal Idol, Dancing Sculpture (video)

Here it is! Exquisite, graceful, and sensuous sculpture and music inform this extraordinary ballet performance from the Michael Smuin Ballet. I remember seeing this on the ARTS channel (Classic Arts Showcase) years ago...based on Rodin's sculpture, "The Eternal Idol", a ballet sequence set to the larghetto movement of Chopin's 2nd Piano Concerto by Michael Smuin. Beautiful and sensual. Dancers: Marjorie Grundvig and Lee Bell. YouTube video by eogmi24.
