ABOUT WILLIAM'S WORK
William Gaddis was a novelist who depicted the artist’s struggle to find meaning and creative expression against the prevailing theme of capitalist corruption.

His first novel, The Recognitions (1955), was greeted as gargantuan and complex, establishing his reputation as a “difficult” writer.  The novel features a large and rich cast of characters who search for authenticity in a counterfeit society.  Rife with allusions and references, the work’s multilayered narrative structure dramatizes the disorienting world in which Gaddis’s characters must make their way.  For JR (1975), a novel composed almost entirely of dialogue, Gaddis received the National Book Award for fiction.  He then wrote Carpenter’s Gothic (1985), followed by A Frolic of His Own (1994), for which he received his second National Book Award.  He was also a contributor to numerous publications, including the Atlantic, the New Yorker, the New York Times, and Harper’s.

BIOGRAPHY
A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Gaddis had held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1966, 1974), the Rockefeller Foundation (1976), and the Guggenheim Foundation (1981).  He served as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Bard College (1997).  In 1993 he received the Lannan Lifetime Achievement Literary Award.

Gaddis was educated mainly in New England, where he studied at Harvard College (1945).

关于威廉姆的作品
威廉-加迪斯是一位小说家,他描绘了艺术家在资本主义腐败的主流主题下寻找意义和创造性表达的斗争。

他的第一部小说《认识》(1955年)被誉为巨大而复杂的作品,奠定了他作为一个 "困难 "作家的声誉。 这部小说的特点是人物众多,内容丰富,在一个假冒伪劣的社会中寻找真实性。 作品中充斥着各种典故和参考资料,其多层次的叙事结构使加迪斯的人物必须在一个迷茫的世界中前进。 凭借《JR》(1975年)这部几乎完全由对话组成的小说,加迪斯获得了国家图书奖的小说奖。 随后他写了《卡彭特的哥特式》(1985年),接着是《他自己的嬉戏》(1994年),他因此获得了他的第二个国家图书奖。 他也是许多出版物的撰稿人,包括《大西洋》、《纽约客》、《纽约时报》和《哈珀》。

个人简历
加迪斯是美国艺术和文学学院的成员,曾获得国家艺术基金会(1966年,1974年)、洛克菲勒基金会(1976年)和古根海姆基金会(1981年)的奖学金。 他曾在巴德学院担任杰出的客座教授(1997年)。 1993年,他获得了Lannan终身成就文学奖。

加迪斯主要在新英格兰接受教育,他在哈佛学院学习(1945年)。
