" [...] Gaddis' novels may be more read about than
read, even though he won the National Book Award
twice, for "JR" and "A Frolic of His Own." He is often
portrayed as a writer's writer, a transitional figure
between modernists such as James Joyce and
postmodernists Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo. Written
mostly in dialogue, Gaddis' novels are long, with many
characters and complicated plots, although they are
not as difficult to follow as the allusive, convoluted
novels of Joyce or Pynchon. [...] "
