Steven Weisenburger takes the reader page by page, often line by line, through the welter of historical references, scientific data, cultural fragments, anthropological research, jokes, and puns around which Pynchon wove his story. Weisenburger fully annotates Pynchon's use of languages ranging from Russian and Hebrew to such subdialects of English as 1940s street talk, drug lingo, and military slang as well as the more obscure terminology of black magic, Rosicrucianism, and Pavlovian psychology. The Companion also reveals the underlying organization of ""Gravity's Rainbow"" - how the book's myriad references form patterns of meaning and structure that have eluded both admirers and critics of the novel. The Companion is keyed to the pages of the principal American editions of ""Gravity's Rainbow"": Viking/Penguin (1973), Bantam (1974), and the special, repaginated Penguin paperback (2000) honoring the novel as one of twenty ""Great Books of the Twentieth Century.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Steven WeisenburgerGenre: Literary CriticismItem Weight: 585gRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
