The issue of #TheNewYorker bearing the date of my Bar Mitzvah contained #fiction by both #SJPerleman and #IBSinger so that's #MyCityInRuins. #SaigonSupersound #LegofLamb #SmokerChips #HollyCole #OrsonWelles #AlfredHitchcock #TheRecognitions #KevinBarry #SteveCarella #JoshuaFerris #TheWannadies #ImABeliever #TheNewPornographers #MichaelMcKean #Tonkotsu #Jeeves #Bertie #ChangMai #Songkran #KarlStruss #SaulBass #LeslieRagan #HarryNilsson #TheBasementTapes #Jockstrap #HoneyHush #BettyBoop #SCTV

So I don't have solid evidence but I keep thinking aout how #BleakHouse reminds me of Gaddis' #TheRecognitions. I think it has something to do with the birds eye view both books take, paired with deep dives into the minutiae of things.
