| | 1. | [no image] | The Recognitions
from Peter Smith Publisher
Price: $26.46
Customer Review:
Recognitions is an important book no doubt, but it's so outdated. Read the TIME review of the book in 1955. It's on the money!

from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.05
Customer Review:
William Gaddis will never be an American literary icon on the order of Hemingway or Faulkner, it's fair to say. His novels, written in a fractured, stream-of-conscious hybrid of dialogue and interior monologue, are full of obscure allusions, facts and figures, and in true postmodern glee, often defy... more info
