Pynchon Hits the Road With Mason And Dixon

http://www.pulitzer.org/archives/6114

"Readers have been torn about the quality of Gravity’s Rainbow since
its release. The novel nearly won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but
that decision was overturned. Is it overwritten and obscene, or is it
a masterpiece of postmodern fiction that does not shy away from
critiquing war and authority? That is for the reader to decide, but if
cultural references from Pat Benatar to 'Trainspotting' have any
weight, then Gravity’s Rainbowhas proved itself a substantial literary
slap in the face of authority."
