Lev Grossman comments on Wallace's "Infinite Jest." David Lipsky talks about the end of Wallace's life. Michael Pietsch was Wallace's editor and is currently editing Wallace's unfinished novel. Amy Wallace-Havens remembers growing up with her brother and contemplates living without him now
A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity." Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex. Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes.
