Gaddis, Gaddis, Gaddis

The good people at the Gaddis Annotations Project were kind enough to offer to post my New England Review essay, "Henry Thoreau, William Gaddis, and the buried history of an epigraph," over in the interpretative essays section of their fabulous Gaddis site. I'm not just plugging the Gaddis Annotations site because they've posted my work - for anybody who's interested in Gaddis, especially for those reading his work for the first time, the site is an invaluable resource for tracking down WG's sometimes obscure references. The site is edited by Ron Dulin and Victoria Harding, and includes Steven Moore's Reader's Guide to William Gaddis's The Recognitions, as well as his informal notes (and those of other readers) on Gaddis's other novels. For more on Gaddis, try the defunct Gaddis Drinking Club - GDCer Bud Parr's more recent work can be seen at the fine lit blog Chekhov's Mistress.
