Robert McCrum in the Guardian just the other day. On J. Swift's "Gulliver's Travels":
 
First, it's a masterpiece of sustained and savage indignation, "furious, raging, obscene", according to Thackeray. Swift's satirical fury is directed against almost every aspect of early 18th-century life: science, society, commerce and politics.
 
True of Gravity's Rainbow? Any semblance of Bleeding Edge's ways?
