Can you discuss literature or just gossip like a teenage girl?

>In that cramped interval between his fingers' faltering insistence and the floor's mute expectancy, the cylindrical burden already half‑forgotten as an object and remembered only as the fleeting damp it had impressed upon his palm described its reluctant descent, a kind of minor abdication enacted with all the misplaced ceremony of something that had never belonged to his grasp in the first place.
Kek spot on

Easy on the daiquiris, Willy.

Do you think Gaddis ever heard English rock combo The Cure's 1982 LP "Pornography"?

biggest little bitch in american letters

At least he was being an insecure liar in a subtle way unlike that preening pompous maggot Nabokov

I am not sure what you are getting at? you mean half from an analytical standpoint in that combined with Wyatt he provides a full perspective?

Otto is one of my favorite characters, few make me laugh like Otto makes me laugh.

No one can say what exactly blud was doing traveling all over Mexico, Europe, Africa and South America during the cold war after getting "kicked out" of Harvard, or what his PR/documentary work for the US Army and some of the biggest American corporations entailed. Some, however, may speculate that the guy working in South America for the CIA's notorious United Fruit in TR was based on his own experiences thoughbeit

Interesting. I want to read the Joseph Tabbi book on this guy but I haven't found it anywhere online.

>>25056907
quite generous of you. to me he just scans as a seething midwit, forever butthurt that the world didn't embrace his """genius""" and relieve him of wage labor. many such cases

I own a controlling stake in the William Gaddis estate AMA

Why do you larp on an American weeb forum?

So what's with this supposed connection between Gaddis and Joyce? I read Ulysses years ago, so it's not top of mind, but I did just finish J R and I don't see the resemblance. Is there a clearer influence on The Recognitions? (I haven't read anything else of Gaddis at this point.) Or is it just something like "Joyce wrote an unconventional, big, difficult novel. Gaddis did too. Therefore, Gaddis is really just regurgitating Joyce."? I just listened to an interview of Steven Moore and this topic came up. What's the deal?

>>25059722
Retards be retards. There isn't much there worth considering.

>>25059722
Gaddis was clearly lying about not having read it.

>>25060366
why do you say that and why does it matter?

>>25059666
Huh what u mean

>a "Jack Gibbs" makes numerous appearances in the Epstein flight logs

>>25059722
What did Moore have to say?
