A Brazilian journalist interviewed a bunch of Pynchon's exes

[Douglas Holm]

There is an index to the characters in Gravity’s Rainbow published in an academic journal from the University of California, Davis, but I don’t have the specs, because I trimmed it down and pasted it into the back of my hardcover edition of the book. The index is four pages long with dual columns. I could make a PDF of it if anyone is interested. There are about 40 names per column so if my arithmetic is adequate there are roughly 320 characters in the book.
