I want to get into Gaddis. Should I start with Recognitions or JR?

If you like zebra music, read JR.
If you like metaphorical cannibalism, read The Recognitions.

>metaphorical cannibalism
You mean actual cannibalism, right? Just because Wyatt didn't bake his dad doesn't mean he didn't actually eat him.

Where should Carpenter's Gothic be placed among those?

Do I need to read up on Faust, or any other background, before starting The Recognitions?

Just know the basic outline of it, the book is huge with lots of characters and that part is kinda small.
Might help to know a little about Flemish paintings.

Cool, thanks for the hot tip. I'm hoping to get it read early next year.
