V2

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

When I hear "the V2s come to life as vividly as any of his human 
characters" this immediately evokes the experience of reading "Gravity's 
Rainbow". Whether Pynchon, however, "has the great gift of readability" 
is an entirely different matter ... Has anybody out there already read 
"V2"?

"Harris finds the poetry in physics and the soul in engineering. He 
makes the V2s come to life as vividly as any of his human characters ... 
Harris has the great gift of readability; there is no living novelist 
whose books I am likelier to gobble up in one sitting." - Jake Kerridge

Harris' "Fatherland" was an inspiration for the title of Kracht's debut 
novel "Faserland" (Faser is the German word for "fiber" & it sounds more 
or less exactly like father) from 1995.
