This corrected an error in which endnote 385 was placed at p. 969 instead of endnote 384, and missing line for "973: 385" had to be inserted

BecauseA brilliant masterpiece, [[User:Puzzledrat/Page-Endnotes Guide for Infinite Jest#|Infinite Jest]] by [[User:Puzzledrat/Page-Endnotes Guide for Infinite Jest#|David Foster Wallace]] is an unusually long and complex novel,. It withincludes essential content in the form of copious endnotes: viz., 388 numbered notes placed at the end of the novel.
 
This index allows the reader of the novel to locate the page number where each of the book's 388 endnote numbers appearappears in superscript in the main body of the novel.
 
This is particularly useful to those who listen to the [[HachetteUser:Puzzledrat/Page-Endnotes BookGuide Group#Hachettefor AudioInfinite Jest#|Hatchett Audio]] audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt, ('''[[User:Puzzledrat/Page-Endnotes Guide for Infinite Jest#|ISBN 9781611133868]]''') because the endnotes themselves are not included. Instead, the voiced endnote number is inserted where it appears in the novel, and the reader must then consult the printed copy of the book for the endnote content.
 
It thus becomes useful to be able to see the endnote in context on the corresponding page; e.g.: '''375: 143, 144''' indicates that '''endnote numbers 143 and 144''' will be found on '''page''' '''375'''.
