A Reader's Guide
to William Gaddis's The Recognitions
I.4 Synopsis Pages 154-68; summer-fall 1949 Otto is in
Central America working on a banana plantation (in the
office rather than the fields), and working after-hours
on his play, The Vanity of Time. Enduring the
unwanted company of the tattooed Jesse Franks, Otto looks
forward to returning to New York City tanned, his play
completed, and sporting a black sling with which he plans
to win sympathy and admiration. index || site map || site
