Description

Book Synopsis
Gaddis (1922-1998) is often cited as the link between literary modernism and postmodernism in the United States. This work includes essays which address subjects as diverse as cybernetics, the law, media theory, race and class, music, and the perils and benefits of globalization. It also contains an interview with Gaddis.

Trade Review
Paper Empire fills the gap in the scholarly literature on Gaddis. I know of no other monograph or collection of essays that addresses in such a focused way the contexts, especially the systematic contexts, of Gaddis's writing. - Brian McHale, author of The Obligation Toward the Difficult Whole: Postmodernist Long Poems
