The British worried about the accuracy of these aerial drones. Were they falling haphazardly over the city, or were they hitting their intended targets? This is the seed of Thomas Pynchon's 1973 novel Gravity's Rainbow -- a masterful, if difficult, novel about (among other things) paranoia.
品钦写的小说截然分为两类。《V.》、《万有引力之虹》（Gravity's Rainbow）、《梅森和迪克逊》（Mason & Dixon）以及《反抗这天》（Against the Day）属于大部头（字面意义上的大）、情节复杂的小说，往往涉及上百个人物和宏大的历史力量。它们是我的最爱，但读它们需要……
Pynchon writes two distinct types of novels. V., Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day are is big (literally) complexly plotted novels that frequently involve hundreds of characters and huge forces of history. They are my favorites, but they require…

英国人很担心这些无人飞行器的精度。它们到底是胡乱砸在城市各处，还是击中了预定目标？这就是托马斯·品钦（Thomas Pynchon）1973年小说《万有引力之虹》（Gravity's Rainbow）的萌芽——一部关于偏执狂（以及其他许多主题）的杰作，尽管读起来晦涩难懂。

托马斯·品钦的《万有引力之虹》（Gravity’s Rainbow）。我觉得它微妙却永久地改变了我，仿佛透过一副带了不同色调的全新镜片看世界一样。
Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I feel like it left me subtly but permanently changed, as if seeing through new differently tinted lenses.

……杰弗里·福特（Jeffery Ford）——超现实主义中篇小说，最贴切的描述就是主角在一个“大人物”心灵的构筑物、梦境和噩梦中生存并获得自主权。《雪崩》（Snow Crash）——尼尔·斯蒂芬森。《万有引力之虹》（Gravity's Rainbow）——托马斯·品钦。《达尔格伦》（Dhalgren）——萨缪尔·R·“奇普”·德拉尼。

……我觉得它们名气都挺大，但可能并没有多少人真正读过。就像那种因为大家都听过名字而知名，但现在没多少人真去读的书。* 舍伍德·安德森的《小城畸人》（Winesburg, Ohio）* 托马斯·品钦的《万有引力之虹》（Gravity’s Rainbow）* 考麦克·麦卡锡的《血色子午线》（Blood Meridian）真正冷门（但超级棒）的本土文学：* 拉里·麦克穆特瑞（Larry McMurtry）的作品（大家只知道《孤独鸽》Lonesome Dove）
