A review by kilburnadam
Carpenter's Gothic by William Gaddis
5.0
Goodreads recommended me The Recognitions, because I'd read Infinite Jest. Loved it from the start, and ordered JR before I'd even finished The Recognitions. Also loved JR.
My plan is to read all of Gaddis's novels in chronological order.
From what I've read of his work, this is his most coherent book. It's not The Recognitions, or JR. But I still fell that it deserves five stars.
He has a very distinctive style. Which I enjoy immensely. I'm going to have to break my self-imposed book buying ban, and immediately order A Frolic of His Own.
