I recall before I read Gravity's Rainbow someone described it as
being "a cross between James Joyce and Zap Comix". I have to admit
although I like Joyce, the comparison to Crumb's work seemed more apropo.
(another capsule description of GR was "Catch 22 as written by Wm.
Burroughs). It's pretty absurd to try to reduce GR to a blurb...like
writing the lord's prayer on the head of a pin.
