Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"We're accustomed to circular and linear stories, but [Pynchon's] is structured in the shape of Poisson's ratio--a bunch of unrelated fragments come together, form a cohesive arc, then scatter as they descend. Pynchon blends all manner of fact, fiction, characters, relationships, and metaphors into this metastructure."

Lisa Goldman, Wired, January 1996

Review:

"I've been turning pages day and night, watching my fingers go ink black, I've been bleeding from paper cuts, reading 'Gravity's Rainbow.' Forests have gone to the blade for this novel. Don't mourn the trees; read the book. 'Gravity's Rainbow' will be compared with 'Ulysses' and with 'Duck Soup.'"

Geoffrey Wolff, San Francisco Examiner
