After Gaddis won a National Book Award in 1975 for his second novel, J R, his first work gradually received new and belated recognition as a masterpiece of American literature.[1] Gaddis found the title for his novel in The Golden Bough, as Frazer noted that Goethe's plot for Faust was derived from the Clementine Recognitions, a third-century theological tract (See Clementine literature): Clement of Rome's Recognitions was the first Christian novel; and yet it was a work that posed as one having been written by a disciple of St. Peter. Dalkey Archive Press sold the publication rights to the novel to New York Review Books in 2020.[12] Through Rufinus, it can be said that this early Christian work was the parent of the late medieval legend of Faust, which initiated a tradition that William Gaddis's The Recognitions continues.
