Carpenter's Gothic PDF
By:William Gaddis
Published on 1999 by Penguin
This story of raging comedy and despair centers on the tempestuous marriage of an heiress and a Vietnam veteran. From their |carpenter gothic| rented house, Paul sets himself up as a media consultant for Reverend Ude, an evangelist mounting a grand crusade that conveniently suits a mining combine bidding to take over an ore strike on the site of Ude's African mission. At the still center of the breakneck action--revealed in Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialoge--is Paul's wife, Liz, and over it all looms the shadowy figure of McCandless, a geologist from whom Paul and Liz rent their house. As Paul mishandles the situation, his wife takes the geologist to her bed and a fire and aborted assassination occur; Ude issues a call to arms as harrowing as any Jeremiad--and Armageddon comes rapidly closer. Displaying Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialogue, and his startling treatments of violence and sexuality, Carpenter's Gothic |shows again that Gaddis is among the first rank of contemporary American writers| (Malcolm Bradbury, |The Washington Post Book World| ). |An unholy landmark of a novel--an extra turret added on to the ample, ingenious, audacious Gothic mansion Gaddis has been building in American letters| --Cynthia Ozick, |The New York Times Book Review| |Everything in this compelling and brilliant vision of America--the packaged sleaze, the incipient violence, the fundamentalist furor, the constricted sexuality--is charged with the force of a volcanic eruption. |Carpenter's Gothic| will reenergize and give shape to contemporary literature.| --Walter Abish
