Into the Deepest Well. . .

According to a recent Newsweek article, now is the "perfect time to dive into [Pynchon's] deepest well." The well is, of course, Gravity's Rainbow which is a postmodern literary classic published in 1973. While it is a little scary if you cannot come back from the distorted well alive, my recommendation is to read a few pages of this novel aloud and enjoy the magical rhythms of the language which sometimes go beyond the bounds of reason. Like running a marathon on the balcony, why don't you bravely read it from beginning to end?
