  1. This is really just awful. I can’t believe I wasted 12 minutes of my life on this thing. The odds on my reading “The Recognitions” just suffered a drastic drop.

  2. Huh? I don’t get the connection between this and the Recognitions.

  3. I’d already watched a few minutes of the thing from another link and had given up, but TA is my favorite litblog, and your “really, really” enticed me to try again. And you’re also urging me to read “The Recognitions”. Actually I’ll still probably try it, but I just got a copy today, so I’m already behind.

  4. Oh please, don’t hold the fact that I’m so easily amused against William Gaddis! And there is still _plenty_ of time to catch up on the reading.

    My favorite part of the Harper Lee thing is where Pat Sajak’s face appears on the death ship. You didn’t like that?!??!

    But yeah, sorry to make you sit through if it wasn’t doing it for you — I was more trying to encourage people to get past the long load time and the first 30 seconds. Than, you know, actually make you sit through 12 unhappy minutes of carnage & silliness & robots.

  5. I’ll abashedly admit that I’m only marginally aware of who Pat Sajac is, so there’s no way I’d have recognized a cartoon representation of him. But last night I read the Gass intro and surfed around in “The Recognitions” and All Is Forgiven for the 12 minutes. And thanks for the great blog.

  6. Thanks, Mike. You made my day. And yeah, the Gass is a pretty magnifico entry, isn’t it?

  7. this inspires me to do “invisible man, dude” starring Corey Haim as the nameless protagonist, Ben stein as Dr bledsoe, corey feldman as dr Norton and Pauly Shore as ras the destroyer. Set in the mean streets of orange county. Beach party modernism! bong hit formalist experimentation.
