Infinite Jest in the Context of American Metamodernist Fiction

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to examine David Foster Wallace’s novel Infinite Jest in the context of post-postmodern, contemporary American fiction. The article presents Wallace’s attitude to postmodern irony and the means by which he attempts to transcend postmodern literary traditions. Along these lines, the aspirations of his contemporaries are also presented, examining the various possibilities for creating a new literature, and the sometimes chaotic attempts to name the new literary trends.
