Thomas Pynchon - along with Salinger, "the great American recluse", one of the greatest writers of world literature of XX and now XXI century, after the first publications unanimously recognized as a classic of the level of Nabokov, Joyce and Borges. His "Gravity's Rainbow" is the main postwar novel of world literature, which absorbed the second half of the XX century as much as Joyce's "Ulysses" absorbed the first. It is a grand postmodern epic and a caustic satire; it is a tragedy multiplied by farce and a radical anti-war statement; it is a countercultural bible and an explosive mixture of irony and conspiracy; it is, finally, a unique reading experience and a surreal travelogue through the underworld of our collective past. Without Gravity's Rainbow, there would be no Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum or all of cyberpunk combined, and indeed the landscape of contemporary literature itself would be very different. For nearly half a century now, this book has been rediscovering new meanings every day, but the only correct reading remains, thankfully, elusive. Winner of the main American literary award - the National Book Award of the USA, nominated for a dozen other prestigious prizes and its radicalism caused an avalanche of dismissals of honorable juries, "Gravity's Rainbow" remains outside the evaluation scale and out of time. The translation is published in a new edition.
