Infinite Jest
Some critics have since qualified their initial stances. In 2008 Scott called "Infinite Jest" an "enormous, zeitgeist-gobbling novel that set his generation's benchmark for literary ambition" and Wallace "the best mind of his generation". James Wood has said that he regrets his negative review: "I wish I'd slowed down a bit more with David Foster Wallace." "Infinite Jest" is one of the recommendations in Michiko Kakutani’s book "Ex Libris: 100 Books to Read and Reread".
