” The greatest, wildest author of his generation”. (” Guardian”). We could tell you the year is 1944, that the main character is called Tyrone Slothrop & that he has a problem because bombs are falling across Europe & crashing to earth at the exact locations of his sexual conquests.

As the ” Financial Times” said, `you must forget earlier notions about life & letters & even the Novel.` Forty years since publication, ” Gravity`s Rainbow” has lost none of its power to enthral. ...
