Abstract
This thesis approaches Infinite Jest's revision of Postmodernism and various features of millennial America, including drugs and rehabilitation, as a scriptural undertaking, best understood through the lens of the Qur'an. The proposition suggests the novel as the literary creation of a community based on shared rituals and referents, both within the AA of the text and the experience of readers without.
