Nothing much to say about yrstruly except that it&#8217;s very much of the theme. Time will tell whether DFW is trying to show the horrors that await all drug addicts, or if it&#8217;s just one part of his mosaic of the full range of possible outcomes. Personally, I think the care that he&#8217;s taken to this point suggests he is not going the heavy-handed route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I really want to focus on is Lyle. Lyle is the oiled up guru that exists in the ETA locker room. He&#8217;s described as having a head that gleams, extravagantly-feathered jet-black hair, and a smile that could sell things. His tank top says TRANSCEND on the front, and DUES PROVIDEBIT on the back. It is day-glo orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyle is an ETA institution. He literally lives off the sweat of others. He will lick your arms and forehead after a particularly hard workout. This might seem strange, but his tongue is little and rough, like a kitty&#8217;s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s harmless as they come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s Lyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Infinite Jest is meant as a laugh, I can&#8217;t help but think that the joke&#8217;s on me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocab Word: <strong>Map<\/strong> Slang for face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You are reading my live blog of Infinite Jest.
