Albert, you described this so well! In fact, you make me want to run out and read this. I have been meaning to read Gaddis eventually, and the legal system is one of my favorite side-hobbies to contemplate! Thank you for an informative review! Authorial absence, I love it...
What a brilliant review! You've tempted me, though Gaddis has never appealed to me before. Satire can be hit or miss for me, so I'll have to give it some more thought.

If you do read it, Betsey, I will be very interested to see what you think.

Lisa, I am the same. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A Confederacy of Dunces did not work for me, but does for a lot of people. Both Gaddis novels works for me.

A Confederacy of Dunces didn't work for me either, so maybe we're aligned here. I will look to see if my library has a copy of this one.
