"nothing very interesting happens in well-lighted places."

literati

While perusing used furniture listings on Craig's list, I found this image of a dresser (that currently resides in Williamsburg) that's being supported by David Foster Wallace's classic humor novel Infinite Jest.

It's certainly the most creative use of the big, sprawling novel I've seen yet. Almost as good as the collection of Kafka short stories that helped my butchered desk teeter over the radiator in my East Village bedroom.

Needless to say, I doubt this is what they mean when they say "Literary Brooklyn".
