Bøker av Steven Weisenburger

Serves as a guide to Thomas Pynchon's ""Gravity's Rainbow"". This title takes the reader page by page, often line by line, through the welter of historical references, scientific data, cultural fragments, anthropological research, jokes, and puns around which Pynchon wove his story.

Broadly situates Pynchon's novel in ""long sixties"" history, revealing a fiction deeply of and about its time. Herman and Weisenburger put the novel's questions about freedom in context with sixties struggles against war, restricted speech rights, ethno-racial oppression, environmental degradation and social and psychological control.
