William Gaddis, Protestantism, and Modern Capitalism

Came across an interesting post on the relation between work and religion in modern society through the novels of William Gaddis. If you haven't read him, Gaddis is a dense, verbose, deeply philosophical writer who combines sensual detail with a textured understanding of his times.

Gaddis books discussed in this article:

The Recognitions (Penguin Classics)

JR (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

Agape Agape (Penguin Classics)

And another book of his to consider:

Carpenter's Gothic (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
