I'm sick and fucking tired of people accusing DFW of being a shitty writer who writes to make himself look smart just because they're lazy or impatient or didn't get it and wanted to get it desperately because they wanted to look smart. I understand not liking it and I also think that sometimes the footnotes get annoying but he was a fucking genius. Read the short story OP. If you don't like that Jest definitely isn't for you. And even if you like it you may not like Infinite Jest but at least you'll know why there's hype.
