INFINITE JEST is notoriously known for being a long book - it's just shy of 1100 pages. Stephen King's THE STAND (uncut edition) and George R.R.

“Infinite Jest is 1100 pages long, set in the near future and difficult to encapsulate. There are two central protagonists.

The other is called Don Gately, who is a recovering alcoholic and counselor at a halfway house. The book is all about addiction in a sense…I think Infinite Jest ...
