Christine Davis Mantai

William Gaddis, Birger Vanwesenbeeck is one of three editors of the book just published by McFarland & Co., "William Gaddis, "The Last of Something" Critical Essays.  This collection of essays explores the interrelation between Gaddis' writing and the culture that helped to engender it. The essays cover such topics as technique, genre, religion, art, economics, colonialism and the role played by Gaddis' own travels through Europe and North Africa.

Dr. Vanwesenbeeck will be teaching a course on Gaddis and Thomas Pynchon next semester.
