Page/Endnotes Guide for Infinite Jest
A brilliant masterpiece, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace is an unusually long and complex novel. It includes essential content in the form of copious endnotes: viz., 388 numbered notes placed at the end of the novel.

This index allows the reader to locate the page number where each of the book's endnote numbers appears in superscript in the main body of the novel.

This is particularly useful to those who listen to the Hatchett Audio audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt, (ISBN 9781611133868) because the endnotes themselves are not included. Instead, the voiced endnote number is inserted where it appears in the novel, and the reader must then consult the printed copy of the book for the endnote content.

It thus becomes useful to be able to see the endnote in context on the corresponding page; e.g.: 375: 143, 144 indicates that endnote numbers 143 and 144 will be found on page 375.
