Another review of an unreadable book.
http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/05/18/reviews/pynchon-rainbow.html
Half the dictionary comes alive in this article, so I dare not read the book being reviewed :-)
Strangely, this reminded me of Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds.
I was compelled to check if Tarantino used Gravity's rainbow as an inspiration.
We cannot truly rule that out! I was pleasantly surprised that there were few others who found this similarity!

Tarantino does not carefully weave these events into the broken threads of actual history, rather, Inglourious Basterds, like Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, is a delirious alternative history within an alternative world war.

Here, the author says that Quentin's Inglorious Basterds has as much relation to World War 11 as did Thomas's Gravity's rainbow.
