In 1996, shortly after the publication of his groundbreaking novel Infinite Jest, acclaimed author David Foster Wallace sets off on a five-day interview with Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky. As the days pass, a tenuous yet significant relationship develops between journalist and subject. Lipsky and Wallace bob and weave around each other, revealing as much in what they don't say as what the say. They share laughs, expose hidden frailties, yet it's never clear when or to what extent they are being truthful. The interview is never published. Five days of audio tapes are packed away in Lipsky's closet, and the two men never meet again.
