Tyrone Slothrop, un soldato nella Londra del 1944, ha un grosso problema. Ogni volta che ha un'erezione, una bomba Blitz colpisce. Slothrop si eccita e poi, come dice Thomas Pynchon nella sua frase di apertura sibilante, "un urlo attraversa il cielo", annunciando un angelo della morte, un razzo V-2. Presto Tyrone è in fuga da legioni di nemici bizzarri attraverso gli orrori fantasmagorici della Germania. Gravity's Rainbow non è mai una storia singola, ma una proliferazione di personaggi - Pirate Prentice, Teddy Bloat, Tantivy Mucker-Maffick, Saure Bummer e altri - ed eventi che stuzzicano il lettore con suggerimenti di vasti schemi appena oltre la nostra comprensione. È una tormenta di riferimenti alla scienza, alla storia, all'alta cultura e alle barzellette più basse e tra i romanzi più importanti del nostro tempo. Vincitore del National Book Award.
