Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First U.S. Edition. Pristine, clean & NEW hardcover in original slipcase. "Thomas Pynchon's GRAVITY'S RAINBOW (1973) has been called a modern Finnegans Wake for its challenging language, wild anachronisms, hallucinatory happenings, and fever-dream imagery. With GRAVITY'S RAINBOW… ILLUSTRATED: ONE PICTURE FOR EVERY PAGE, artist Zak Smith at once eases and expands readers' experience of the twentieth-century classic. Smith has created more than 750 pages of drawings, paintings, and photos---each derived from a page of Pynchon's novel. Extraordinary tableaux of the detritus of war---a burned-out Konigstiger tank, a melted machine gun---coexist alongside such phantasmagoric Pynchon inventions as the 'stumbling bird' and 'Grigori the octopus.' Smith has said he aimed to be 'as literal as possible' in interpreting Gravity's Rainbow, but his images are as imaginative and powerful as the prose they honor." [copy on slipcase] While the slipcase front shows the title PICTURES SHOWING WHAT HAPPENS ON EACH PAGE OF THOMAS PYNCHON'S NOVEL GRAVITY'S RAINBOW, the book's spine features GRAVITY'S RAINBOW ILLUSTRATED: ONE PICTURE FOR EVERY PAGE. So I guess it could be called both things. ZAK SMITH's book is beautifully made, in perfect condition, quite presentable & collectible. Oversize & hefty book will require additional postage & insurance to get to you safely; please inquire with your specific interest. Shipping charges will be advised once destination is known.
