I feel fairly foolish asking this, but as a new Pynchonite I may be
behind the curve. On the back of my copy of _Gravity's Rainbow_ there's
a blurb from someone at the San Francisco Examiner that says, "This book will
be compared to _Ulysses_ and _Duck Soup_." Now I've read Ulysses (twice), but
Duck Soup doesn't ring a bell. I asked my (unhelpful) bookstore clerks, and
found no entry in Books in Print, so somebody help me out. In the context of
the quote it certainly sounds like a Milestone of 20th Century Literature, so
I would like to correct my ignorance.
