An investigation of why Gödel's writings contain so few references to Tarski's work -- in particular, the latter's definition of truth. The author discusses some previous attempts by others to account for this lacuna, but he deems those explanations insufficient. Rather, he sees the answer in the contrast between Gödel's Platonic views of truth and Tarski's semantic approach to the topic.
