You know the steaks are a Wittgenstein joke right?

One of the characters, Norman Bombardini orders a ton of steaks and tries to consume the world.

Wallace explains it:

> So [Wittgenstein] makes language dependent on human community, but unfortunately we're still stuck with the idea that there is this world of referents out that we can never really join or know because we're stuck in here, in language, even if we're at least all in here together. Oh yeah, the other original option. The other option is to expand the linguistic subject. Expand the self.

The joke behind Norman is he's a literalizing of this option, he tries to literally expand the self to become the world, and in doing so, eliminate loneliness.

That doesn't change that Norman was depicted doing something impossible. So my question is, is there more to the classification of the fantasy genre than "something impossible happened?"
