The Recognitions is the debut novel by William Gaddis, published in 1955.The novel centers on Wyatt Gwyon, the son of a New England minister, who forsakes religion to devote his life to becoming a painter. When this fails, he committed to painting flawless copies of his revered old masters, which were then sold as the real thing.The novel was dismissed uncomprehendingly by critics upon publication but has since, especially after the publication of his National Book Award-winning second novel J R, gained popularity and is regarded as one of the finest American novels of the 20th century.

El Spanish "-o": Otto loses the manuscript to his play while vacationing in Mexico. In desperation, he asks the locals if they've seen his "playa", which only baffles them wondering why this man is having so much trouble finding the beach.
