Author Rick Moody reads an excerpt from William Gaddis's novel A FROLIC OF HIS OWN and recounts an incident that nearly doomed the novel during its editing phase.

Rick Moody is the author of six novels (including THE ICE STORM), three collections of stories, and three works of non-fiction, including, most recently, THE LONG ACCOMPLISHMENT, a memoir. He teaches at Tufts University, and lives in Massachusetts.  

The reading took place on October 20, 2022 at Washington University in St. Louis (on Zoom). For more information on the Conference visit https://sites.wustl.edu/gaddis2022/.
