I was quite interested in LaCapra when I worked in academia during the
last millennium - for his insistence on the "historicity" of literature,
but also his quite "literary" approach on the discipline of history.

So I was happily surprised when, in the journal Diacritics, I bumped into
his article on The Recognitions which I had recently read for the first
time. If memory serves, LaCapra's article is a quite short and general
introduction to the novel but worth reading nevertheless. It is mentioned
in his Wikipedia bibliography:
"Singed Phoenix and Gift of Tongues: William Gaddis's _The Recognitions_",
_Diacritics_ 16 (1986), 33-47.


As my alma mater *still* hasn't removed my access rights, I have access
to the article and can send an electronic copy to those interested.
