Infinite Summer is an online book club-style project started by writer Matthew Baldwin in which participants are challenged to read and complete David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite Jest over the summer of 2009 at a rate of about 75 pages a week from June 21 to September 22.[1][2][3]
Baldwin and three other writers act as "guides," providing commentary on the main Infinite Summer website. Participants in the project also contribute commentary over a variety of social networking services, including Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter, where related tweets are marked with #infsum.[4]
Baldwin has said in interviews that the project was prompted in part by David Foster Wallace's death in September 2008.[5]
Notable participants in the project include Colin Meloy of The Decemberists[6][7] and Ezra Klein of The Washington Post[8]. Though not participating, John Hodgman has described the project as "a noble and crazy enterprise."[9]
