Most of the references Hazel and Augustus make to AIA are related in some way to something from Infinite Jest, and I wanted readers of IJ to be able to make those comparisons. The first is David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest. However, An Imperial Affliction is in some ways based on two books I love. Getting those answer might help her tackling her situation too.īut remember neither that book nor the writer is real:Īn Imperial Affliction is not a real book, and Peter Van Houten is not a real person. It's a dying girl's wish to get a closure on her fav story which is parallel to her but ends abruptly. Which was clear in the movie itself: HAZEL So Hazel is curious to know what happens, what happened to Anna, did she die, what happens to her mother etc. Because that story is similar to her but has no clean end and ends in the middle of a sentence.
