Hello,

I am interested in people's take on freedom in Gravity's Rainbow.  In truth
I'm writing a paper focusing on critiques of freedom in Gravity's Rainbow.
In particular I'm focusing on writing that appears in chat rooms and other
non-specifically- academic settings.  Any thoughts?  I'm really looking for
any spin on freedom whether it be walks through Slothrop's varying degrees/
types of freedom or Pynchon's overinvestment in personality towards the end
of the novel as offering a new resistance to bourgeois indivdualism's
methods of personal control.  Or something completely different.  Please,
just write

jeff thanks
