William Gaddis Keynote at The Writer and Religion Conference (1994) 

Thanks! Always excellent to see more Gaddis on here.

Thanks for posting this. I've listened to it several times now and will certainly do so again when I start The Recognitions this spring.

He was really onto something when he was talking about the creative artist being consumed by the performance role.

A superb video thanks!

Thanks so much for uploading this. I love his voice, especially when he's reading excerpts.

📙💯

Wouldn't it be great to hear Bill's lecture on Failure?

Useless fact I thought I’d share. Both Gaddis and the gentleman in the photo, Ormonde de Kay, passed away within 2 months of each other in 98

What did Gaddis say at the end when quoting tolstoy? Something about "my God, I left out the ....". What was that last word

is that guy on the right Gaddis?
