Title: Gravity's Rainbow
Review: I first read this book while in the Navy, and over the years when thoughts of the book surfaced like descriptions of the cables tethering the barrage balloons, and yhe meeting by the bridge and the stream -- somewhere towards the end.. but after just finishing Gravity's Rainbow this spring/summer, one thing that cannot be said is that this not a work for the ages. Top-shelf story and prose, all the way like, let's say, as a Bach cantata can be 'heard in many ways and still be fresh and so can this story. I can't find the proper words to say-- beauty certainly,a way of perceiving terrible beauties and light. Marvy and his 'band' chasing Slothrop is worth reading the book alone and you find it all believable then.Now going to read 'Against the Day' and hope for more. Oh boy!btw.. Pups to the cover painting from 'ATD': 'Nose Diving on the City'.
