Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity’s Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce’s Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.
Inscrutable but mesmerizing and enticing. Amazing insight into human motivations and arresting attention to the details of mood. Somewhere, a plot lurks...
Amazing so far (page 38). Not so much because of the story but because of how it's written. Quick snippets of insight or emotion or observation. Hardly any structure.
