He wasn't a post modernist. He considered himself a high modernist but I would just call him a modernist since we have not really left modernism yet and don't really know what is high modernist.

Yes, William Gaddis invented Modernism before he was even born.

Not at all, he's the übermodernist

[Anonymous No.22398349]

>>22398325
You can make that case without much effort. The modernists who came before did not consider themselves modernists, they were not of the modernist school and the term was applied to them by the modernist school. Gaddis was of the modernist school, wrote modernist works and the only one I can think of who embodies both so completely and well.

Probably but he's not exactly against much competition. I mean look at these dudes. Gaddis is doing his funny crouching here but perhaps purposefully to hide the fact that he is really not very tall in comparison to Barth, Barthelme and Vonnegut. None are admittedly as attractive as Gaddis but I can imagine they still had a lot of charm: Barth is the definition of an "egghead" and tried the best he could with hats and berets, Barthelme lacked a jawline but he favourably covered that with a beard, and Vonnegut looks surprisingly handsome in his young photos, less pristine than Gaddis but also less melancholy. Gass had a kind of dark, earthy attractiveness ("uglyhot" in modern parlance) which I personally think might appeal to more women than Gaddis' meek and boyish good looks, but he is not especially tall either, and obviously towards the end the Gassman lost that edgy charm and became something of a grotesque Pillsbury Doughboy. Wallace I expect would be the most objectively attractive to the largest number of women, and he was 6'2 (as tall as Vonnegut) and notorious for smashing artho pussy on book tours, but his insufferable personality makes him the most deeply unattractive of the bunch. Apparently Pynchon never had a problem scoring girlfriends when he was young, which I find very surprising, but who knows, maybe it's really what's on the inside that counts.

I love this photo! Gass does look very nice here. I've always found Wallace repulsive which was compounded when I read about all the weird pathetic sex pest shit he did.
As for Pynchon, the latest photo of him where he's not an old man seems to be >>22398294. Maybe the scoring came later

He was clearly great at spewing parleyvoo. How romantic!

Gass was ugly as shit. Gaddis wasn't exactly a pretty boy himself so can't say how much pussy he got. Women seem to care more for good looks and charm over height, atleast not that much unless you are 5'3 or something.
