I would like to have had that about, oh, 850 pages ago so that I gave a shit about him. But here it is.

Some interesting bits in this part, in the monastery in Spain, reiterating the themes already expounded for 900 pages, but more clearly. Still, Gaddis' comedy sense is like the Bowery Boys compared to Joyce's comedy like the Marx Brothers. One is clearly superior.
