  • Over the Rainbow

    Found this when I looking for material on Thomas Pynchon and I am so glad I did. The discussion of Gravity’s Rainbow was really interesting and pleasant and as someone who had already read the book it helped me understand more of the nuances and broad strokes of the book. Great work, gang! I’m a subscriber 🙂
