Info on gaddis' play on german radio

<<_A Frolic_ is must reading--just about my favorite Gaddis (so far)--some
of his funniest, with the judge's legal opinion as hilarious as anything 
legal I can remember (though the Spotted Horses trial in _The Hamlet_ and the 
will in _The Floating Opera_ are worth citing as well). Any other fictional 
evocations of legal stuff to put alongside these?>>

I agree.  Reading Frolic, I was constantly looking ahead to see how far to 
the next legal opinion--set out in courier type, for easy finding.  Little 
gems. 

Not to be put beside the cites you note, necessarily, but I recently read a 
semi-serious book called Brainstorm by Richard Dooling, which features a 
lawyer as main character and deals fairly intelligently with the subject of 
hate crime.  Many of its evocations of legal practice are droll.
