In Lawrence Norfolk's novel Lempriere's Dictionary, which is highly
recommended, one scene (the alphabetical drinking game) reads like it
came straight out of Gravity's Rainbow.  I don't remember there being
any direct reference to Pynchon or GR in it, but the style was so
dead-on that it had to have been intentional.
