"We're accustomed to circular and linear stories, but [Pynchon's] is structured in the shape of Poisson's ratio--a bunch of unrelated fragments come together, form a cohesive arc, then scatter as they descend. Pynchon blends all manner of fact, fiction, characters, relationships, and metaphors into this metastructure."Pynchon, Thomas is the author of 'Gravity's Rainbow', published 2000 under ISBN 9780140283389 and ISBN 0140283382.
