Die Fälschung Der Welt by William Gaddis

A sprawling, mordant novel that follows a young artist whose obsession with authenticity and the making of forgeries pulls him into a labyrinth of deceit, religious yearning, and artistic compromise; through dense, witty dialogue and a wide cast of characters the book satirizes the art world, commerce, and spiritual hypocrisy while probing questions of identity, imitation, and the cost of pursuing truth in a world of replicas.
