What does the audio book version of Infinite Jest do with all the footnotes?

>> No.12255105

>>12254885
A female voice announces their corresponding numbers as they occur in the text, allowing people with the book to pause and read them if they want, but they were not recorded.

Sean Pratt's performance is unironically better than the actual book.

When I was a junior in high school I made a thread that was just the screen cap used in OP’s picture with the text >he doesn’t read footnotes and it stayed up for a few days and it was a meme for awhile to take screen caps of Dfw making funny faces in an interview
That’s it

I’ve always found that meme particularly obnoxious but congrats on making one that has stayed so strong.

I wasn’t criticizing you. I just hate seeing the goofy dfw pics. I’m responsible for my own obnoxious /lit/ meme. But it’s not as time tested as that one.

there's an imgur gallery of a buncha these screencaps, anybody have the link?
