About this deal

This is the top option in artisan chocolate where you can own all the awards in a better combination, containing 8 bars:  The book is a masquerade, moving from New England to New York to Madrid, from the art world to the underworld, but it centers on the story of Wyatt Gwyon, the son of a New England minister, who forsakes religion to devote himself to painting, only to despair of his inspiration. 71 Balham High Road, Balham, SW12 9AP In expiation, he will paint nothing but flawless copies of his revered old masters--copies, however, that find their way into the hands of a sinister financial wizard by the name of Recktall Brown, who of course sells them as the real thing. Among other subjects, they discuss literature in translation, MFA programs, contemporary book reviewing, the survival of the novel,. . Read more Edwin Frank Interviewed in ‘The Point’

Once finished I couldn't help but feel as though The Recognitions will be a book I constantly return to. This book is worth it. Everything else is, however, brilliant Nothing major, but for nearly £20 I would hope for something of more concrete quality.

Probably not, but I can sense that every five years or so I'll find an occasion to revisit the work, and get sucked into the vast tapestry (or reproduction thereof) of characters here. One slight annoyance I had was that the very first page on my edition came loose from the binding after a mere two days of reading.

I'd you have reservations, please place then aside. Stunning work, my first read of Gaddis. Will it be a yearly re-read?
