Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest

room's other personnel include: the University's Director of Composition, its varsity tennis coach, and
Academy prorector Mr. A. deLint. C.T. is beside me; the others sit, stand and stand, respectively, at the
periphery of my focus. The tennis coach jingles pocket-change.
