‘Infinite Jest’ References
In the season five episode “Partridge,” series creator Mike Schur went a little crazy with references to “Infinite Jest,” the lengthy tome by Schur’s favorite author David Foster Wallace. Among other things, fans of the novel may recognize the names of the hospital where Ben is treated for kidney stones, as well as the partners of the law firm that represents Jamm when he sues Ron for punching him in the face.
