abstract="This essay offers a close analysis of one particular character in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: Kate Gompert, a suicidal marijuana addict afflicted with &quot;psychotic depression.&quot; While the novel consistently posits a neuroscientific, material explanation for such an illness-i.e., the primacy of the body and the tyrannical oppression of brain chemistry-there also exists a spiritual-philosophical undercurrent that posits a construction of the Self defined by experience and choice.
