Una época: el año de la Ropa Interior para Adultos Depend, en el Tiempo Subsidiado, en una América regida por el totalitarismo ecológico de la ONAN, gobernada a su vez por la oscura Oficina de Servicios No Especificados, en guerra perpetua contra el ultraviolento antiONANismo de Quebec.
Una institución: la Academia Enfield de Tenis, ultraelitista y donde impera una disciplina destinada a abolir todo placer. Una familia: los Incandenza. James Incandenza, óptico militar convertido en cineasta de après-garde, y su mujer, la promiscua Avril, que alimenta oscuras conexiones con la guerrilla de Quebec. Y sus tres hijos: Orin, genial pateador de fútbol americano y seductor transnacional; Mario, enano y deforme, cineasta como su padre y poseedor de una sensibilidad prodigiosa, y Hal, promesa del tenis juvenil y atormentado por un secreto terrible. Y una pelÃcula: El samizdat. El Entretenimiento. La broma infinita. Con el poder de enloquecer a todo el que la vea y destruir asà la civilización. El arma perfecta por la que todos se enzarzarán en la Guerra Final por el control de América. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A critical, funny, and reflective novel about addiction, consumerism, and the loneliness of American society, written with great wisdom and humor. A place: Enfield, Massachusetts. A hundred miles from the Great Concavity, a radioactive wasteland full of mutant babies the size of airplanes, creatures without skulls, and hordes of wild hamsters. A time: the year of Depend Adult Undergarments, in Subsidized Time, in an America ruled by the ecological totalitarianism of ONAN, governed in turn by the dark Office of Unspecified Services, in perpetual war against the ultra-violent anti-ONANism of Quebec. An institution: the Enfield Tennis Academy, ultra-elitist and where a discipline aimed at abolishing all pleasure prevails. A family: the Incandenzas. James Incandenza, a military optician turned avant-garde filmmaker, and his wife, the promiscuous Avril, who feeds dark connections with the Quebec guerrilla. And their three sons: Orin, a brilliant football kicker and transnational seducer; Mario, a dwarf and deformed, filmmaker like his father and possessing prodigious sensitivity; and Hal, a promising young tennis player tormented by a terrible secret. And a film: The samizdat. The Entertainment. Infinite Jest. With the power to drive anyone who watches it insane and thus destroy civilization. The perfect weapon for which everyone will engage in the Final War for control of America.
