Infinite Jest review by Jay McInerney
in the end, it is the dogged attempt of the recovering addict Don Gately to reclaim the simple pleasures of everyday life that overshadows the athletic, intellectual and onanistic pyrotechnics of the Incandenzas -- and makes this novel something more than an interminable joke.

contrarian quarterly: Food and Drink
craptastic writing about nyc restaurants that reads like self-parody. "yellowtail (hamachi) with coffee-infused water chestnuts, chorizo powder, plantain gnocci, a bright orange puddle of nasturtium flower soup and strips of light spicy nasturium leaves.
