Having come almost to page 200 (for the moment everything goes according to plan pre-established), the three deaths witnessed in 'Infinite Jest' tragicomic have been no exception. Is the man with a cold, a horse that died bound and gagged by some thieves who broke into the house because with the cold, was unable breathing through the nose and drowned after a slow agony described in considerable detail. Is the drug addict who stopped him a trap, which actually was not by him but by his partner, and instead of selling ordinary drug gave her a substance that caused him to die in spasms of pain and bleeding from the eyes to one point he even went out and hung her optic nerve. It is so nice gore DFW. And finally there is the woman with an artificial heart he carried in a bag. He spent a transvestite thief (the dead druggie friend, it's good to see that everything is connected in this novel) and stole her bag in one sitting. The woman ran after of him yelling "Stop him, has stolen my heart!" And all the people were doing nothing Descojonado, until she fell to the floor collapsed. From this we learn that life DFW is not only absurd but also that death can be. Also mentioned in passing the death of James Incandeza, who committed suicide by sticking their head in a microwave and I hope later we count this death in detail. If there is someone out there, I do not look bad, we're all just as morbid.
