Lee Drutman👍 Recommends
…recommending fiction novel about authenticity relevant to contemporary concerns
“And a final book, I'll recommend a book of fiction, The Recognitions by William Gaddis, which is a book about forgery and authenticity and originality. And, you know, in this era of AI and not knowing what's authentic and what's not, it really resonates. It's a long book. It's like one of these, like, you know, thousand-page postmodern books. But it really feels fresh, even though it was written in 1955.”
