Product Description
A great masterpiece by William Gaddis, with a new introduction by William H. Gass.
The book Jonathan Franzen dubbed the âur-text of postwar ï¬ctionâ and the âï¬rst great cultural critique, which, even if Heller and Pynchon hadnât read it while composing Catch-22 and V., managed to anticipate the spirit of bothââThe Recognitions is a masterwork about art and forgery, and the increasingly thin line between the counterfeit and the fake. Gaddis anticipates by almost half a century the crisis of reality that we currently face, where the real and the virtual are combining in alarming ways, and the sources of legitimacy and power are often obscure to us.Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought
