No, I'm questioning the idea that since Gaddis likes lengthy dialogues he
should have been a playwright. That's like saying because Pynchon likes
songs he should have been a songwriter...

Listening to the _J R_ audiobook in particular emphasizes how un-play-like
the dialogues in that book are.

Anyway, Gaddis did write a drama, based on _Agapé Agape_; performed only in
German, on the radio:
