The Recognitions

William Gaddis

1 person has this book on the record — 0 of 1 verdicts positive. The dissent stays on the page.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

W. David Marx mixed on it
Two really long books ate up a lot of my reading this year: Gaddis’ The Recognitions and Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach. I would not casually recommend either, but as my friend Nick said, “I’m glad they exist.”

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
