Wouldn't Pemulis' mathematical errors be consistent with how Infinite Jest begins? I.e., he has some sort of degenerative condition directly or indirectly associated with exposure to strange mold found in the basement of his childhood home?


It's Hal who ate the mold and who's blasted at the "beginning" of Infinite Jest


Thanks for correcting me on that. It's been years since I read this great book.
