One of this author's stories begins with a man making a witticism and a girl laughing, both trying to be liked. Another story is about a sadomasochistic Young Republican Lawyer who is happy with Gimlet and Tit but not Boltpin, before we learn he likes to burn people with a cigarette lighter. In addition to writing "A Radically Condensed History of Postindustrial Life" and "The Girl with Curious Hair," one of his novels sees a character listen to the relevance of a pen sketch of a barber with an exploded head from a man called the Anti-Christ. That novel also features the characters Wang Dang Lang and Rick Vigorous in addition to the protagonist's brother Stoney. Another of his novels features a man that punts for the Arizona Cardinals, Orin, whose father founded the Enfield Tennis Academy.  For ten points, name this author that created Lenore Beadsman and James Incandenza in addition to writing The Pale King, as well as The Broom of the System and Infinite Jest.
