Description

Our week 11 reading is dominated by a long phone call, so it seems somehow fitting, even thematically appropriate, that we, as always, meet up with our friends to discuss it telephonically.

Topics of discussion

• "The sated ghost cannot see secret things"
• The unusual bodies of Infinite Jest
• More Hamlet parallells
• Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton/"It was a dark and stormy night"

We'll be reading pages 270–283 next week.
