Gravity's Rainbow, A book about war?

[jbor]

And to be quite honest I don't think that the interpretations that Doug, 
MalignD, Michael Perez, Otto, myself or others have ventured on the topic
are totally incompatible with it, or with one another in fact. It seems to
me that many of the past arguments have been over terms -- such as
"central", Holocaust (v. Shoah perhaps), representation, presence/absence
and so forth -- rather than anything substantive. Questions about "guilt"
and "blame" seem to have been (and probably will continue to be) another
sticking point -- both whether or not these are apportioned in the text, but
also whether such retrospective judgements can ever be made with certainty,
justice etc.
