The recognitions

>the recognitions is pro catholic

found the brainlet

i read for like an hour and got 26 pages in (this thing is fucking THICC) and so far it seems to be mocking protestant puritanism more than it is supporting catholicism

obviously just a teensy bit early to judge but that's my initial impression

gonna go read for another hour before bed

you're right. other guy likely hasn't read it and is just shitposting

is it merely the insecurity of youth that makes people start threads like this?

It has nothing to do with supporting religion. Get ready for some shifts in the narrative, btw.

Who cares? Every excuse to talk about Gaddis is well received.

In my country, this book is everything.

It's not a shitpost. It's something Gaddis has acknowledged as not being a completely retarded interpretation.

Maybe do your homework?

I'm about 40 pages in but haven't picked it up in a over a month due to being busy with other stuff. You can tell it's great writing and that he put a large chunk of his life into it, but I just wanted to say that I thought what he said later on, after it was semi-panned then made a comeback, was pretty funny. Something like, "I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd won the Nobel prize for it." Must have been a crushing feeling when the opposite happened. Glad he didn't seem to let it get him down too much.

>Glad he didn't seem to let it get him down too much.
Dude, he didn't write another book for 20 years and, even after that, all his books are pretty much him being incredibly bitter about pretty much everything and calling other people destructive idiots with no taste or passion for anything. If you read Agape Agape is pretty much a 100 pages long rant about this.
