Ideological outsiders usually aren't taken seriously, but they are also the visionaries that bring perspective from outside the boundaries of our projected world. These voices from the void of unreality become more important for truth when our conditioned reality collapses.

Rainer Maria Rilke's "Duino Elegies" and "Sonnets to Orpheus" are recommended reading to help digest Gravity's Rainbow. It's also helpful to read about the Rilke/Balthus relationship. Some of Balthus' controversial paintings are woven into the text (Bianca).

Gravity's Rainbow is fucking brilliant... read it now... Synthesis and Control. Elect/Preterite. Technology. Immortal financial systems with eternal debt. Mandrakes. Magicians. Thermodynamics and Entropy. Ouroboros.

Final Summary: Gravity's Rainbow A drug-induced, schizoaffective, Jungian journey through the light and shadows of both Pynchon's and America's conscious/subconcious amidst the contradictions and generational/cultural entropy of the late 60s.

We are witnessing Hollywood's magnum opus. A post-postmodern jungian masterpiece... a phantasmagoria of actor-politicians playing America's archtypes, anima, and shadows battling each other on stage until the grand finale - JFK pops out of cake and reveals that it was all a joke.

I have a confession. I stopped Mason & Dixon in St Helena... uncontrollable urge to return to Gravity's Rainbow. Part 3 seems like a good place to start. Mason & Dixon posts this year...not now though. I can't escape the Zone.
