Ennet House had almost become boring. But then along came Randy Lenz. Randy Lenz fills the page with the feeling that something bad is about to happen. Something on the level of the woman and the stillbirth or the results of the detergent-laced heroine.
But, aside from mass animal murder, that bad thing hasn't happened yet. Were Infinite Jest a standard work of fiction, it would be clear that manslaughter is in Lenz' future, but Infinite Jest is not a standard work of fiction.
After all, a standard work of fiction wouldn't have a student boldly interrupt a bizarre, Lynch-esque, high school football-based role play taking place in an after-hours office involving arguably the main character's mom and a colleague.
So what will happen with Randy Lenz isn't quite clear.
