nice readings man. sounds nice in spoken word.
-
Textual similarities between Rilke's 'Duino Elegies' and the more somber passages of RAINBOW'S narrative abound,I think...
-
I love all the little vignettes in this episode. "Listening to the Toilet" is probably my favorite, the way each piece of weirdness tags into a new one until the big paranoid mindfuck drops at the end ("what if there is no Vacuum?").
Some of them are just bafflingly bizarre, like "Witty Repartee" with the parenthetical story of Prince Porfirio in the dumpster, or "Some Characteristics of Imipolex G" at the end. GR is his only book that has passages that weird.
-
Fantastic reading. For the record, though, Säure is pronounced "Soy-ruh".
-
Thanks so much for this and here's hoping for many more! GR blew me away just under 25 years ago - it remains as fresh as then.

hey your camera was upside-down... ;)

Gravity's Rainbow was published in '73, not '78.
