William Gass' Middle C won me firmly over. This worthy celebration of JR could only be written by one of Gass' wit and perspicacity. Gaddis greatest - and yes, most difficult (if you take the time to try to understand it and all of its vast families of interlacing symbols) - is Carpenter's Gothic (which I've read I think between 60 and 80 times). I never liked the Recognitions but only passages of it, but adore J.R. (read count comes to around 14 times, certain chapters many more. It's only weak chapter is 11). I've still yet to read Frolic but it is coming.
wonderful! Thank you for posting.
love this video

Like a New York Times, that's come apart in the rain..
You stumbled upon the Wanteds. It was cold raining and you missed your happy life.
