Jack Green (critic) jack green (the name was spelled with lower-case letters) is the pseudonym of Christopher Carlisle Reid (born 1928), an American literary critic who was a great defender of the work of William Gaddis. Reid—who took the name from a racing form after he quit his job to become a freelance critic—particularly admired Gaddis' 1955 novel "The Recognitions", which flopped upon being published. Reid/green believed that the commercial failure of the hardcover edition of Gaddis' novel was the result of it having been panned by literary critics. Reid/green's faith in Gaddis was borne out when "The Recognitions" was chosen as one of TIME magazine's 100 best novels from 1923 to 2005.
