Gravity's Rainbow





A new edition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of first publication of Pynchon's classic book.

Winner of the 1974 National Book Award

"The most profound and accomplished American novel since the end of World War II." - The New Republic

“A screaming comes across the sky. . .” A few months after the Germans’ secret V-2 rocket bombs begin falling on London, British Intelligence discovers that a map of the city pinpointing the sexual conquests of one Lieutenant Tyrone Slothrop, U.S. Army, corresponds identically to a map showing the V-2 impact sites. The implications of this discovery will launch Slothrop on an amazing journey across war-torn Europe, fleeing an international cabal of military-industrial superpowers, in search of the mysterious Rocket 00000.
