    Extractions: A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE was held May 6th for the late William Gaddis, the esteemed novelist who died last December. The course of my life was irrevocably changed by my discovery of his work in 1975, and after nearly 25 years of writing and thinking about his titanic novels, I felt compelled to attend this tribute to the man who, I am now convinced, is the greatest American novelist of the twentieth century. The tribute was held in the august auditorium of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, into which Gaddis was inducted in 1984. As it happens, the last time I had seen Gaddis was in the same building five years earlier, an awards ceremony where Gaddis and the other members of the Academy sat on the stage (like the faculty at a graduation), facing us like totems guarding the gates of American literature. Gracing the stage this time was a smaller but well-chosen group: Sarah Gaddis, his daughter, began the event on an elegiac note, almost breaking down in tears as she confessed how difficult it was to adjust to the absence created by her father's death. (She once wrote an autobiographical novel, Swallow Hard , largely about her relationship to him.) She was followed by gentleman-novelist Louis Auchincloss, who gave an overview of Gaddis's achievement (in a sumptuous Anglo-American accent) and paid tribute to his vast erudition. Auchincloss is known for his legal novels, but he admitted Gaddis's knowledge of the law far exceeded his.

    Extractions: Remember to Read Gaddis He was the only person caught in the collapse, and afterward, most of his work was recovered too, and it is still spoken of, when it is noted, with high regard, though seldom played. William Gaddis, concluding paragraph to The Recognitions William Gaddis died Wednesday, December 16, 1998 at the age of 75. While Gaddis won two National Book Awards, for his novels J.R. and A Frolic of His Own, Gaddis' work never gained a wide popular readership. The world that Gaddis describes is one in which a cacophony of disparate voices create and destroy meaning in the world. Power in Gaddis novels is diffuse. No one person is ever in control, and meaning is constantly shifting. While there are clearly rules at work, the rules themselves are not fixed. If you read a Gaddis novel and you aren't quite sure what is going on, who are the controllers and who is the controlled, you aren't alone. The characters in Gaddis' novels are most often in the same boat. People live within systems difficult to understand , and impossible to describe completely. Voices do battle in a hyper-real space where orality, voices, statements and documents of various kinds, represent the sum and total possible understanding of experience. What is said by the characters is all that is known, and what is said is open to misinterpretation, or misdirection.

    Extractions: Gaddis, William Gaddis, William, The Recognitions (1955), examines falseness and the loss of authenticity in its story of a master forger. The next four novels are written almost completely without narration in a series of dialogues and a multiplicity of voices. JR (1975) concerns elaborate corporate shenanigans, Carpenter's Gothic (1985) explores ramifications of the Vietnam War, A Frolic of His Own (1994) skewers the litigious modern world, and the posthumously published Agap E Agape (2002) records the reflections a dying writer obsessed with player pianos and, by extension, the nature of art. Gaddis's shorter prose is collected in The Rush for Second Place See S. Moore, A Reader's Guide to William Gaddis's The Recognitions (1982) and William Gaddis (1989); E. B. Safer

    Extractions: In the mid-1970s, when I first started living in New York City, I worked for Doubleday Bookstores. My first job was as Christmas help at their flagship store at 57th Street and 5th Avenue, and my last job was as an assistant manager of a smaller store on 49th Street and 3rd Avenue. Between those two positions I worked for nearly three years at the 53rd Street store, which had been featured in the film The Owl and the Pussycat Once when I was looking over the shelves, I noticed that both copies were not there. Amazing. After sitting there for all that time and not selling, now both of them were gone. But amazement turned to disappointment when I found out that the new paperback manager had gone through the section herself and checked the stickers on the back and placed the books on a truck with all the other books that were due to be removed. The truck was sitting in the back of the store next to a dumbwaiter. One of my jobs was to load the contents of the truck onto the dumbwaiter and then send it to the basement. The stockroom crew would empty the dumbwaiter and tear off the book covers so that the store could return them and receive credit on its account with the publishers, or more typically, with the wholesale distributors, or "jobbers," as they were called. The books themselves, without their covers, would simply be thrown away.

    http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/interviews/interview_gaddis.html
    
    Extractions: Q: There seems to be a noticeable undercurrent of autobiography in your fiction. Both Willie in "The Recognitions" and especially Thomas Eigen in "J R" bear more than a passing resemblance to their author. Yet you are also one of the most reticent of writers, avoiding publicity of any kind. What are your views on the place of autobiography in artistic creation and to what extent is Thomas Eigen a portrait of the artist? Q: You said that you enjoy writing, but you have never discussed your writing habits. Do you keep a journal or notebooks? Do you have preferences as to when and where you work, etc? WG: Have I said I enjoy writing? Some high moment and I probably did, but it's nearer what Pascal, was it he? as I have it at second hand, said about no man differing more from another than he does from himself at another time. That incidentally may better explain a phenomenon like "The Brothers Karamazov." It certainly helps to explain my distaste for interviews, though this one may serve to set the record straight on a few points. Q: It's been said "The Recognitions" was edited down to its present size from a much longer manuscript. Is it true that you fundamentally agreed with the cuts suggested by your editors at Harcourt, Brace and World? How did the abandoned material differ from that in the final version? Have you come to regret any of the deletions? Did "J R" go through a similar process of editing? What part do revisions play in your compositional method?
