Résumé:The purpose of this paper is to question the significance of the representation of nature in William Gaddis’s fourth novel, A Frolic of His Own, by focusing on the narrative and descriptive sequences that seem to offer a different kind of textual landscape compared with the dialogues and legal documents the narrative is replete with. After studying what kind of nature is actually present in the novel, we will try to show that what is at stake is a poetics of fiction writing in the way “nature” is made into a literary and necessary landscape that is the result of a complex textual fabrication.
