Just starting Agapē Agape by William Gaddis. Has anyone else read it? Did you like it?

I feel like I am just scratching the surface on Antagony, but it is just blowing me away.

How this novel hasn't been translated earlier is a huge disservice to the English speaking world. I need to work on my Spanish to read his untranslated works.

If you are a fan of Proust, Joyce or Gaddis you will love Luis Goytisolo.

In the popular sport of guessing which novel, philosopher, poet etc. will be read a hundred years from now, the answer seems to be mostly – the novelist, philosopher, poet that I like. One likes to think one’s likes will be immortalized by others who are like oneself.

However, I can well imagine a novel and novelist I don’t like at all being read one hundred years from now, and one I adore not being read one hundred years from now. Why not? #Gaddis
