     Yeah; many of us are wondering why NPR refers to Dallas/Ft. Worth as 
     an Infinite Jest.

Hmmm. Does the list's willingness to abbreviate Wallace's name (as we 
don't Gaddis's or DeLillo's, for example) indicate that he has 
accomplished his clandestine mission of ingratiating himself amongst us as 
a Pynchon wannabe, a half-assed doppelganger? Horrors! I agree with Max. 
This must be stopped.
     
                                        --D.
