found drama

Someone shows me their copy of Infinite Jest. It is a new edition. An annotated edition? An expanded edition. An edition where the main narrative content is intact, but where the footnotes endnotes have been augmented. There are additional notes. Expanded notes. A glossary. Graphs and charts. Tables and figures. Maps and diagrams. An all new appendix. It has the same cover as the 2006 paperback edition, and the same page count, and all of the original content plus all of this new content. ¹

1. Perhaps this is the child of the original Infinite Jest and House of Leaves?[↩]
