Gravity's Rainbow

Novel 1973 by US writer Thomas Pynchon. It is an epic narrative of conspiracy, paranoia, science, and history set during World War II. Taking the trajectory of the German V2 rocket as its main image, the novel is a quest for meaning in a weird, overpopulated world of impending chaos. It is a major work of postmodernism.
