...mistake to lump Infinite Jest in with its successors. Think of it instead in terms of its forebears. Think of it as a Dickens novel. It's a book about two socially disparate groups--the tennis players and the drug addicts--and the various plot strands that bind them together. Granted, Wallace's plot strands are way more confusing than Dickens', and Wallace leaves his story lines dangling in a way that Dickens never did.

Brown. Estrogen contributes to tumor cell growth via its role in binding to a protein net known as the estrogen receptor (ER), located in the nucleus of 70 percent of breast cancer cells. When estrogen attaches to this receptor, the binding initiates a flurry of activity in genes directly related to cell growth and division. Many cancerous cells have a disproportionately high number...
