>Was the Infinite Jest of its time

Now faded into obscurity and irrelevance will the same no doubt happen to other big post-modernists like Delilo, Pynchon or DFW?

Yeah, he really gave the entire endeavor the class it needed. There's no way on Earth I could've made it through those books, through that series, without ol Roy and his hilarious Misandte Ching Chong Ling Long accent and etc.
Honestly, he adds a lot to the reading.
Is really very sad and shitty that I've spent ten years... think about that... ten fucking years.... thinking about this fictional universe. Corkage been thinking about actual history. 1776. The Enlightenment. 1934. 1932. That whole wonderful time period that I wish I could live in.

Maybe to years earlier before the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906? My God. Before the War on Drugs ever began. Coke and codeine for days. Imagine it. And no gutter culture in the mainstream. No blatant self-hating anti-Americanism, etc etc.

Whew, I'm delirious and dizzy from bath, exhaustion and etc but yeah. Oh, and Cthulu guy. All that. OH YEAH, H. P. Lovecraft. What a time to be alive that would've been. Back before anti-White shaming and all these horrors and dark monsters creeping like shadows laughing with their long hideous tongues out about hating White people. Ugh. What an ugly time to be alive and not getting any any better.
