wallace-l: Gaddis/Pynchon/Wallace comparison

[paolo beneforti]

"Agape, agape" IMO is a very strong and good book - the spiritual last 
will of G., in fact. There is an elitarist but positive thesis in taht 
book; and a tragic point of view about speed of changes of our age. Not 
an original thing, of course; but that fast-changes-age  stuff  - such 
as the positive thesis on elitarism of literature - are more significant 
for they come from the pen of a "dead man writing" as was Gaddis in his 
last years for his emphysema.
It's so sad for me that there isn't yet any italian translation of that 
book.
