description: Winner of the 1973 National Book Award,  Gravity's Rainbow  is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's  Ulysses  was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
