About the Gaddis annotations site & group |
| Our purpose is to bring readers to the work of William Gaddis (1922-1998), one of the most important and influential American writers of the 20th century, and to increase and deepen both the understanding and pleasure of his distinctive genius. | |

editor & webmaster |
The project consists of a group, left, of Gaddis
readers along with some scholars who came together in the late 1990s primarily on the Gaddis-l
discussion group, originally established by Ron Dulin who also created the
Gaddis site pages with the annotations for The Recognitions. Curtiss Leung has been involved in planning and constructing the site and its support from the beginning, and in addition to supplying notes and important organizational work, provided invaluable technical help. At the outset the support and encouragement received from Charles Monaghan, long-time Gaddis friend and promoter, and from Alan Westrope, who has unusual and interesting Gaddis material on his web site. were of great value. Anja Zeidler has been especially helpful not only in providing new information but in organizing others' materials to make site work easier. Finally, the site is owned and edited by Victoria Harding, who is responsible for everything that appears here. Please see the Contact page for inquiries
about the Gaddis archives at Washington University or permissions and
other information from the agent for the literary estate. --Victoria Harding |
