   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Gaddis, William (1922-1998)

US novelist. He was a distinctive and satirical stylist of non-psychological work, often written on a vast, perplexing scale. His first novel, The Recognitions (1955), explores the idea of forgery in social and sexual relations and in art. It was followed by the encyclopedic JR (1975), written entirely in dialogue, which deals with money and power, Carpenter's Gothic (1985), and Agape (1998).
