Query: Good Idea, Badly Carried Out

A disaster. Too many mistakes to be believed. In the first place: the authors state that there is only one known photo of Thomas Pynchon. Wrong. There are several, many of them easily accessible online. Second: The authors state that all of the novels of William Gaddis are written almost entirely in dialogue. Wrong again. The Recognitions is not written that way. Also, the authors do not include David Foster Wallace, author of Infinite Jest, which is one of the major cult books around.Other errors abound, too numerous to list here. While an interesting and valuable idea, this book is simply too badly executed to be of any real use.
