David Foster Wallace Inspires Piece at Chocolate Factory

His footnotes alone can ramble for more than a thousand words at a stretch, and his most famous novel, “Infinite Jest,” all but bore out the adjective of the title.

Quite excellent DFW piece at Chocolate Factory
If you never read David Foster Wallace, here is your chance! Plus the show is clever, avant-garde, close to home and cheap. Congratulations on a really impressive production. (Bit long though. And a crowd that more resembles a bridge tournament than experimental performance.)
