I’m halfway through Gravity’s Rainbow because of this thread and I’m wondering why you liked it so much? The understanding and breadth of science in it are excellent but I don’t understand why he fills the pages with graphic sex of every kind, except perhaps the missionary position.
” I’m wondering why you liked it so much?”
Well, being a musician,,,,,, the sex didm’t bother me that much. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting twist to a plot line! Slothrop and the missiles,,,just bizarre! But,, on top of that, I really enjoyed Pynchon’s modern prose style, and his outrageous sense of humor! “Bowel Bugers Au Jus” abdo-lutely cracked me up! Feed some to Michael Moore!
