"In 1982, Steven Moore invented Gaddis Studies when he published his comprehensive Reader's Guide to The Recognitions. Thirty years, and three books later, he's returned to his landmark 1989 monograph on Gaddis's work, bringing it up-to-date with new chapters on Gaddis's late work. This is the definitive study of both how Gaddis's novels work and why they matter. In each authoritative chapter Moore maps their large intellectual investments and intricate architecture, in lucid and well-informed readings that underline the fact that Moore has a deeper insight into this important body of fiction than anyone else." -- Stephen J. Burn, Reader in American Literature, University of Glasgow, UK "Steven Moore is one of our most important Gaddis scholars and, with the recent revival of interest in William Gaddis's powerful literary legacy, this revised guidebook will become an invaluable resource for undergraduates, graduate students, scholars starting work on Gaddis, and lay readers who might be interested in learning more about his art." -- Lee Konstantinou, Assistant Professor of English, University of Maryland, College Park, USA "Where would Gaddis studies be without Steven Moore? His indispensable guide, for many years the only monographic introduction to Gaddis's fiction, is back again in a new, expanded and updated edition, and more indispensable than ever. Moore unravels the often tortuous situations and storylines of the novels, highlighting their satire and comedy, which can sometimes elude readers. These are not solemn books, but 'frolics,' and Moore is not a solemn explicator but a knowledgeable enthusiast-the ideal traveling companion for any voyager in Gaddisland." -- Brian McHale, Arts & Humanities Distinguished Professor of English, The Ohio State University, USA, "In 1982, Steven Moore invented Gaddis Studies when he published his comprehensive Reader's Guide to The Recognitions.

One of them, Stephen Burn (also a respected David Foster Wallace critic), in a quotation on the back of the expanded edition of Moore's critical study of Gaddis' works--suitably updated and released in February of this year, a handful of months ahead of Tabbi's biography--states that its author 'invented Gaddis Studies when he published his comprehensive guide to The Recognitions' (in 1982; now available online). Anyone writing after that, and after his original Twayne edition of William Gaddis (1989), owes much to Moore's analysis." - Jeff Bursey, Numéro Cinq, "In 1982, Steven Moore invented Gaddis Studies when he published his comprehensive Reader's Guide to The Recognitions.

Synopsis
In 1989, Steven Moore published the first scholarly study of all three of William Gaddis's novels and since then it has been generally regarded as the best book on this difficult but major writer's work. This revised and expanded edition includes new chapters on the novels Gaddis published after 1989, the National Book Award-winning A Frolic of His Own and the posthumous novella Agape Agape , along with updated introductory and concluding chapters. This introduction offers a clear discussion of all five of Gaddis's novels, providing essential biographical information, two chapters each on his most significant novels, The Recognitions and J R , and a chapter each devoted to his later three novels. A concluding chapter locates his place in American literature and notes his influence on younger writers. Each chapter focuses on the main themes of each novel and discusses the literary techniques Gaddis deployed to dramatize those themes. Since Gaddis is an erudite, allusive novelist, Moore clarifies his references and explains how they enhance his themes.
