Annotation
During his lifetime, William Gaddis (1922-1998) evaded bio-graphical questions, never read from his work publicly, and didn't allow his photograph to appear on his books. Before his novel J R (1975) won Gaddis the National Book Award and some measure of renown, he had given up the bohemian world of 1950s Green-wich Village for a series of corporate jobs that both paid the bills and provided an inside view of the encroachment of market val-ues into every corner of American culture.
