Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

There are lots of academic Pynchon sites online.

I once went to an academic Pynchon conference. And felt like vomiting.

Academia castrated Gravity's Rainbow by using it as an example of postmodernist thought.

A pox on the professors of Pynchon studies who are so smug and super smart they spent decades asking the wrong questions and demanding their students do the same.
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
"Proverbs for Paranoids 4: You hide, They seek."
"They are in Love. Fuck the War."

Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon

"Ccollanan Pachacamac ricuy auccacunac yahuarniy hichascancuta."
The last words of the last Inka, Tupac Amaru, led to the gallows by men of god & dogs of war
