Synopsis "Gravity's Rainbow (Vintage Classics) "

‘The greatest, wildest author of his generation’ GuardianWe could tell you the year is 1944, that the main character is called Tyrone Slothrop and that he has a problem because bombs are falling across Europe and crashing to earth at the exact locations of his sexual conquests. But that doesn’t really begin to cover it. Reading this book is like falling down a rabbit hole into an outlandish, sinister, mysterious, absurd, compulsive netherworld. As the Financial Times said, ‘you must forget earlier notions about life and letters and even the Novel.’ Forty years since publication, Gravity’s Rainbow has lost none of its power to enthral.

De él apenas se sabe que estudió ingeniería y literatura en la Universidad de Cornell, donde fue alumno de Vladimir Nabokov (aunque éste no recordara haberlo tenido en clase), que redactó folletos técnicos para la compañía aérea Boeing, que envió a un cómico a recoger el National Book Award y que vive en Nueva York. Tusquets Editores ha publicado la integridad de su obra de ficción.
