Description

Discover Thomas Pynchon's brilliant writing in this postmodern literature classic.

'The greatest, wildest author of his generation' Guardian

We could tell you the year is 1944, that the main character is called Tyrone Slothrop and that he has a problem because bombs are falling across Europe and crashing to the earth at the exact locations of his sexual conquests. But that doesn't really begin to cover it.

Reading this book is like falling down a rabbit hole into an outlandish, sinister, mysterious, absurd, compulsive netherworld. As The Financial Times said, 'you must forget earlier notions about life and letters and even the Novel.' Forty years since its publication, Gravity's Rainbow has lost none of its power to enthral.

Wer durchhält wird belohnt

Die Enten der Parabel ist wohl eines der kompliziertesten Bücher, die ich bis jetzt lesen durfte. Bei über 400 Charakteren kann man schon mal leicht den Überblick verlieren. Wer jedoch bis zum Ende durchhält und wortwörtlich zwischen den Zeilen liest, fängt an zu verstehen und wird mit lauter tollen Plottwists belohnt. Eine so ungewöhnliche Handlung verdient auch eine außergewöhnliche Aufmerksamkeit.

But there are nosepick noodles to be served up buttery and steaming, grime gruel and pustule porridge to be ladled into bowls of a snivelling generation of future executives, pubic popovers to be wheeled out onto terraces stained by holocaust sky or growing rigid with autumn.
