=== David Foster Wallace's work contains: ===
* [[Door StopperDoorstopper]]: His most famous work, the novel ''[[Infinite Jest]]'', is over a thousand pages long. ''A thousand''.
* [[Footnote Fever]]: His favorite technique. His footnotes frequently take up ''most of an entire page'', especially in his nonfiction. The method apparently developed when he was writing ''Infinite Jest'', where he needed to break up the narrative, but not too much. He chose the method of using endnotes, which developed into footnotes in his later works. The endnotes for ''Infinite Jest'' fill up over ''one hundred pages'', the length of some novels.
* [[Nameless Narrative]]: Most of the stories in ''Brief Interviews With Hideous Men''
