boyinthebadlands | William Gaddis' The Recognitions; A Review (Sort Of) @boyinthebadlands | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
William Gaddis' The Recognitions is an invisible titan of American post-war fiction; invisible for its unpopularity, and titanic for its undeniable influence on the future generation(s) of writers in America. In this video I examine Gaddis' criticisms of forgery in The Recognitions via his depictions of (a) Art, (b) the Self, and (c) Faith.

Chapters:
0:00 Introduction
2:53 Art
5:56 the Self
8:19 Faith
11:26 Conclusion
