Why isn't he as acclaimed as the other pomo wankers? What's his best work?

Where do you rank him among the great American novelists of the 20th century?

I would like to try reading Gaddis. What makes for a better intro to his work: JR, or The Recognitions? I know I could just download them and figure it out for myself, but I can’t stand reading on a phone. Plus his books are hard to find, meaning I’ll have to order an expensive copy from AbeBooks or something, so I would like to get the best possible book to start with, if there is one.

should i read his books in order or should i start with Carpenter's Gothic which i've heard is more accessible? closest thing ive probably read to him is Pynchon.
