Agapē agape

Agapē agape continues Gaddis' career-long reflection via the form of the novel on those aspects of corporate culture that are uniquely destructive of the arts. The unnamed narrator of William Gaddis's last, powerfully memorable novel lies dying in bed, as its author did, gaping in wonder and amazement at our lost capacity for sacred passion.

  • "Chant funèbre d'un vieil écrivain agonisant qui critique la mécanisation des arts et regrette sa jeunesse perdue. Durant plus de cinquante ans, Gaddis a accumulé des notes qu'il distille dans ce monologue dramatique d'un vieillard voulant expliquer au monde que la culture technologique de masse détruit les arts."
  • "A dying man lies in bed thinking about how he will write a book and grumbling about the pending fall of civilization."

  • "William Gaddis published four novels during his lifetime, immense and complex books that helped inaugurate a new movement in American letters. Now comes his final work of fiction, a subtle, concentrated culmination of his art and ideas. For more than fifty years Gaddis collected notes for a book about the mechanization of the arts, told by way of a social history of the player piano in America. In the years before his death in 1998, he distilled the whole mass into a fiction, a dramatic monologue by an elderly man with a terminal illness. Continuing Gaddis's career-long reflection on those aspects of corporate technological culture that are uniquely destructive of the arts, Agape Agape is a stunning achievement from one of the indisputable masters of postwar American fiction."@en
  • "The narrator, lying dying in bed, looks back over his life, raging and obsessing, his thoughts range widely, from the history of the piano to the role of the artist to our declining values."
