Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. be
I cannot make myself understood. 'I am not just a jock,' I say slowly. Distinctly. 'My transcript for the last
year might have been dickied a bit, maybe, but that was to get me over a rough spot. The grades prior to
that are de moi.' My eyes are closed; the room is silent. 'I cannot make myself understood, now.'I am
speaking slowly and distinctly. 'Call it something I ate.'
It's funny what you don't recall. Our first home, in the suburb of Weston, which I barely remember—my
