   Extractions: ASIN: Customer Reviews: Impossible to Enjoy Gaddis is certainly a gifted writer, but what he crafted here is impossible to enjoy on any level. 1000 pages of fragmented sentences, incomplete thoughts, non-interlocking, interlocking story lines and cameo characters simply does not cut it for a first rate work. not perfect, but brilliant still This book isn't for anyone, and I was tired of it at times. I think it is a little long, and at the end, you can feel the transition of interest in Gaddis to his next epic "J.R." I think both of Gaddis's first two books are essential reads. "J.R" is comic and almost narratorless- a style that is somewhat flawed since to identify characters without the standard "John said..." at the end, he has to give each character a unique stutter or annoying lingual habit, like you know saying like like a lot like or er um that is er um I mean. By the end it gets old. Back to "The Recognitions"- The writing is great and I don't know if there is any book more full of great ideas. "God cares as much for a moment as for an hour" is my favorite. What a great quotation and a great thought. Everything in the book is a fraud. It starts off like any epic, we get the birth of the hero and the book will obviously be about his towering gifts. He can't fail at anything. But he never develops as the star. The book itself, along with every action by every character, becomes a fraud. There is good humor, some mystery, and a lot of value.

    Extractions: By Tim Conley William Gaddis Agape Agape , before he passed away) and an artist inclined to avoid the trappings of celebrity. Gaddis was born in New York December 29, 1922. He went on to Harvard, but was asked to leave the college in his senior year (the circumstances of the situation are mysterious, and await the unfortunate biographer). He worked for The New Yorker for a spell in the 1950s, and absorbed experiences at the bohemian parties and happenings, to be later used as material in The Recognitions . Travel provided further resources of experience in Mexico, in Costa Rica, in Spain and Africa and, perhaps strangest to imagine of him, he was employed for a few years in public relations for a pharmaceutical corporation. The Recognitions (1955) is a 956-page saga of forgery, pretension, and desires misguided and inexpressible. Critical response to the book ranged from cool to hostile, but in most cases (as Jack Green took pains to show in his book of rebuke, Fire the Bastards! ) reviewers were ill-prepared to deal with the challenge, and evidently many who began to read The Recognitions JR (1975; winner of the National Book Award), only 726 pages long:
