Happy Birthday GR....sent 6:15 AM Australian time.....a good, good piece....

[Arthur Fuller]

Unreadable? What idiot could not make it past the first sentence without
falling into a well of Readable? I am no scholar in terms of 20th C
literature, but I am fully prepared to argue that GR stands as one of the
Great Novels of the 20th century. So does V., and so does The Crying of Lot
49.
Lest you dismiss me as a Pynch-ophile, let me add that my second favourite
American author of the previous century is William Gaddis -- whose books
(all too few) I have read several times. IMO, JR is a masterpiece, but so
was The Recognitions -- how appropriately titled, given itss un-recognition
as great art.
