This is the newly created Wiki for [[David Foster Wallace]]'s ''Infinite Jest'', published in 1996 by Little Brown. Besides using the page-by-page annotation, you can also take a look at [[Vineland covers|''Vineland'' covers]], read the [[Reviews of VinelandInfinite Jest|reviews]], or [[Vineland Infinite Jest Obs|provide insights or observations]].

'''The new ''VinelandInfinite Jest'' wiki has arrived!'''<br />The page-by-page annotation section has been seriously kick-started with the incorporation of the [http://www.mindspring.com/~shadow88/ '''"Babies of Wackiness" – A Reader's Guide to Thomas Pynchon's ''Vineland'''''], thanks to the site's proprietors, John Diebold and Michael Goodwin. Their site still has excellent and insightful summaries of each chapter, but we've incorporated the page-by-page commentary. This wiki is Virgin Territory. Be the first on your block to amaze the world with your perspicacity!

==Page by Page Annotations==
An alternate form of commentary on the text. The guiding principle of these annotations is to remain spoiler-free, so that readers can follow along without the fear that later parts of the book will be revealed. The proprietors of [http://www.mindspring.com/~shadow88/ '''Babies of Wackiness'''], John Diebold and Michael Goodwin, graciously allowed us to incorporate their Reader's Guide to ''Vineland'' as a starting point for this section.

==Pynchon Wallace Wiki Help and Contributor Guidelines==
[[Help:Contents|'''Click here for help with editing and creating pages.''']]
We have a few conventions we ask that you follow:
* When creating a new page, first check to make sure a page/article about what you want to write about hasn't already been created, by '''[[Special:Allpages|checking the list of all Wiki pages on the ''VinelandInfinite Jest'' wiki]]'''. If a page already exists, please modify that one.
* To open a discussion on an individual listing of the Alpha Index or Page by Page Annotations, give it a name that identifies the alpha listing (eg <nowiki>[[Discussion Subject|'''DISCUSSION''']]</nowiki>) and notice that the visible name will be "'''DISCUSSION'''" in bold and full caps, so it stands out a bit.
