Review of Gravity's Rainbow, Domination, and Freedom

[Mark Kohut]

I see that these two first-rate Pynchon understanders also found Fromm's ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM a very possible source, which I was lucky enough to know and be led back to. I did a fair amount of posting about and for it, I remember. started with the title. 

Although I haven't yet read the book, from the review summary, I think they are wrong about how a few publishing years might have kept GR from being published as is....Most of the " porno" charges had been fought and won by publishers before the sixties, and a writer such as Pynchon, at a House like Viking, with an editor like Cork Smith would have published what he/they knew made thematic sense. They would have loved, at publication (probably) to have had the book called " pornographic as the Columbia Candlebrows overseeing the Pulitzer judges/readers did.....
