Covering Part 3: Chapters 1-5. Our read-through of Gravity's Rainbow continues as we enter THE ZONE. The War--at least in Europe--is over. But the novel is merely beginning, in some ways. Slothrop meets a witch, a Herero revolutionary, and stumbles upon an abandoned rocket factory factory building rockets. Try not to zone out, eh?
We are joined by Elizabeth Baer, author of The Genocidal Gaze, to get some context for German colonialism in southern Africa, and the history of the Herero people. How did Germany's colonial programming shape their 20th century genocidal ambitions?
Other topics include: German runology, cyborgs, magic, IG Farben and chemical cartels, imperialism, hot air balloons, pie fights, the double-integer and how it looks like two people snuggling, Brenschluss, gnostic third-eyes, Kryptosam.
Read Proverbs For Paranoids, John's guide to Gravity's Rainbow.
