Jonathan Franzen, who in an essay in The New Yorker called Gaddis "an old literary hero of mine", dubbed him 'Mr. Difficult', stating that "by a comfortable margin, the most difficult book I ever voluntarily read in its entirety was Gaddis' nine-hundred-and-fifty-six-page first novel, The Recognitions."[15] Franzen continued: "In the four decades following the publication of The Recognitions, Gaddis's work grew angrier and angrier. The first book-length biography, Joseph Tabbi's Nobody Grew but the Business: On the Life and Work of William Gaddis, was published by Northwestern University Press in May 2015.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7668.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7668.txt
