About This Novel
This book is a classic in postmodernist literature. It has a unique position in the history of 20th-century literature in the United States and the world. It has caused huge controversy in the West. Some people call it the pinnacle of contemporary literature, while others think it is a rhyme that "predicts the end of the world." The plot of this masterpiece is complex, and the dream-like fantasy is full of confusing and intricate cross-relationships, various, weird and messy narratives, specious discussions, and descriptions of physics, rocket engineering, advanced mathematics, psychology, international politics, and abnormal sex. The background of the novel is the Second World War. German V-2 rockets frequently attacked London. The British and American intelligence agencies discovered that the place where an American intelligence officer had sex was often the landing point of the rocket. They studied this phenomenon, which attracted and implicated many people and events. The central image of the novel is the rocket. The so-called "gravity rainbow" refers to the parabolic arc formed after the rocket is launched. The author also uses it to symbolize death and the inevitable trajectory of modern civilization towards destruction.
