I’m flipping through Gravity’s Rainbow, a book I read in a postmodern lit class in college, and all I see are questions marks on the side. I had a hard time digesting that novel. Earlier this year I read his much easier and thinner book, The Crying of Lot 49, and that, I enjoyed. I keep on going back to his book because there’s just so much flavor and so much to chew on. I heard that Pynchon, while at Cornell, was taught by Nabokov, who is quite the snob when it comes to judging fiction. I wonder what would Nabokov thinks of pupil’s work.
