Want to design the new cover of David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest?
Here’s how you can design the cover to a new reissue.
David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest is widely embraced as one of the greatest novels of the 1990s. And now the book’s publisher is giving you the chance to design the cover for the 20th Anniversary edition.
Designs can be submitted through the David Foster Wallace website before September 15 for a chance to win a $1,000 American Express gift card and a spot on the cover of the re-release. No photography or drawings of real people will be accepted, but otherwise, the design is up to you.
Infinite Jest takes place largely in a fictionalized Allston/Brighton. Wallace was living in a Somerville apartment when he wrote it, and the real locations that inspired those in the book are mapped out here.
The author, who committed suicide in 2008, is portrayed by Jason Segel in the recently released biopic The End of the Tour.
