- Title
Hashtagging Gaddis: #OccupyGaddis's Residual Adoption of William Gaddis's J R.
- Authors
Miletic, Philip
- Abstract
In 2012, Lee Konstantinou started an online reading group called #OccupyGaddis to discuss William Gaddis's novel, J R. I argue that #Occupy- Gaddis rethinks Gaddis's cynicism toward communication technologies and reimagines the novel as a cultural study of how to write and negotiate (fragmented) identities in the current global, media-dominated culture.
