The Recognitions
by William Gaddis (also rec’d by Gloria Steinem )
Buy on AmazonAnother instance of pleasurable re-reading. William Gaddis’ first novel, mid-1950s, The Recognitions , and I remember walking into a bookstore in Manhattan and being intrigued by the striking cover design, from a 15th-century Italian altarpiece. The first paragraph knocked me out and I’ve been reading and re-reading Gaddis ever since.
