Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
#2
I have not read any Thomas Pynchon and I am obviously missing out on a great experience.

I am intrigued about the reference to:
Quote:the the practice genocide of the Herero people in Sud-West Afrika in 1904, written out of Their history books but the symbolic heart of Gravity's Rainbow
What happened here?
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx

"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.

“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.
