Rainbow & Parabola (was NP)

[Malignd]

<<Point here being that, yes, the V-2 rocket's arc is
a (if not the) primary referent of the novel's title,
but that as with those other phenomena to which it is
connected in the text: the curve of a banana or an
erect penis,the earth's orbit around the sun, S-shaped
spokes and architecture, a theatre's proscenium arch,
running water warping the square holes of a harmonica
or the passage of human life and death, and more; it
is a literary conceit which makes it so.>>

It has been mentioned here before--but, I think, not
in this thread--that Gravity's Rainbow also refers to
the creation beneath the surface of the earh of coal
tars and their subsequent role in creating dye.
