Reviews for Paper Empire
Paper Empire fills the gap in the scholarly literature on Gaddis. I know of no other monograph or collection of essays that addresses in such a focused way the contexts, especially the systematic contexts, of Gaddis's writing. - Brian McHale, author of The Obligation Toward the Difficult Whole: Postmodernist Long Poems
