Chekhov's Mistress
Eating at the big kid’s table
…or drink, as the case may be.
Catching up on lit blogs yesterday, I stumbled across a link to the Gaddis Drinking Club.
Hmmmm. Intrigued from the beginning, I found on the site some familiar names all gathering together to collectively read and discuss William Gaddis’ The Recognitions.

Too good to be true and the timing could not be better. I just finished reading Apuleius’ The Golden Ass, and have had my head up my own with work lately.
So, now I’m in for all 956 densely packed pages. And since I’m listed on the site as a contributor I’m going to have to really pay attention. Just my sort of fun.
Here is some information:
The book…
The site…
And the smartness behind the reading…

Read widely, think well, and write often.

Thanks for stopping by and reminding me about the Gaddis Drinking Club. Honestly, reading your rave reviews and glancing over the GDC were what inspired me to tackle The Recognitions in the first place. I’ve been following along with the annotations, but the extra ancillary information posted on the Drinking Club will be most helpful.
Good to know that I can peruse Fire the Bastards! online. I am most curious.
