Celebrates And Illuminates The Legacy Of One Of Americas Most Innovative And Consequential 20Th Century Novelistsin 2002, Following The Posthumous Publication Of William Gaddiss Collected Nonfiction And His Final Novel And Jonathan Franzens Lengthy Attack On Him In The New Yorker, A Number Of Partisan Articles Appeared In Support Of Gaddiss Legacy. In A Review In The London Review Of Books, Critic Hal Foster Suggested A Reason For Disparate Responses To Gaddiss Reputation: Gaddiss Unique Hybridity, His Ability To Write In The Gap Between Two Dispensationsbetween Science And Literature, Theory And Narrative, Anddifferent Orders Of Linguistic Imagination.Gaddis (19221998) Is Often Cited As The Link Between Literary Modernism And Postmodernism In The United States. His Novelsthe Recognitions, Jr, Carpenters Gothic, And A Frolic Of His Ownare Notable In The Ways That They Often Restrict Themselves To The Language And Communication Systems Of The Worlds He Portrays. Issues Of Corporate Finance, The American Legal System, Economics, Simulation And Authenticity, Bureaucracy, Transportation, And Mass Communication Permeate His Narratives In Subject, Setting, And Method. The Essays Address Subjects As Diverse As Cybernetics Theory, The Law, Media Theory, Race And Class, Music, And The Perils And Benefits Of Globalization. The Collection Also Contains A Memoir By Gaddiss Son, An Unpublished Interview With Gaddis From Just After The Publication Of Jr, And An Essay On The Gaddis Archive, Newly Opened At Washington University In St. Louis.The Editors Acknowledge That We Live In An Age Of Heightened Global Awareness.
