Mehr Infos
Gravity's Rainbow remains one of the most enigmatic and ambitious novels of the 20th century - a kaleidoscope of paranoia, power, sex, science, and entropy set against the crumbling ruins of World War II.
In Unmasking Gravity's Rainbow, Charles Hohmann unravels the novel's dense web of references and motifs, and guides the reader through the novel's key symbols - from the mysterious V-2 rocket to the silent systems of control - and situates it within the broader landscape of postmodern literature and Cold War anxiety.
Whether you're a first-time reader or a seasoned Pynchon scholar, this book offers a clear-eyed entry point into one of the most formidable literary achievements of our time.
