Somewhat of a lost Gaddis masterpiece is the collection "The Rush for Second Place", which contains his original notes for "Agape Agape", which are fucking fascinating and brilliant.

Not to wander off-thread, but is there a similar place where we might discuss the works of William Gaddis. JR was perhaps my fave novel of his, but The Recognitions and A Frolic of His Own are masterpieces, IMHO. I think that my favorites are The Recognitions and JR, but A Frolic is so hilarious that it cannot be lightly dismissed. It's a little bit like Catch 22. It's too preposterous to take seriously, but it's so real that you just know this is the underbelly of what happened with the lawsuit-industry.

Ole V, who famously 'hated' GR but musta loved the begiinning

or the genital-shaped cloud image re THE BOMB later.....

 

or else came up with his own image independently. 

 

Anyway, nice.
