Synopsis "Gravity's Rainbow "

A Penguin Classic Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force. This Penguin Classics deluxe edition features a specially designed cover by Frank Miller along with french claps and deckle-edged paper. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

De él apenas se sabe que estudió ingeniería y literatura en la Universidad de Cornell, donde fue alumno de Vladimir Nabokov (aunque éste no recordara haberlo tenido en clase), que redactó folletos técnicos para la compañía aérea Boeing, que envió a un cómico a recoger el National Book Award y que vive en Nueva York. Tusquets Editores ha publicado la integridad de su obra de ficción.
