My Father has all these Pynchon novels but when I obviously asked him wether he has also read "Gravity's Rainbow" he solemnly stated he never even considered picking it up.

Is this some joke that I as a non-Pynchon reader don't get or what did he mean by this?

yes

t. expert on your dad

He probably was never into the literal shit eating scenes and child molestation in it I'm afraid...

But that's such a minuscule part of the book.

No idea, OP. GR is one of Pynchon's most revered books. You'll just have to ask your father. It may be just that it never crossed his mind to pick up a copy if he's usually busy, I don't know.

>>9718523
you just got pynch'd by your own papa
>>
>>9718523
I doubt it's a joke. I've read most of the Pynch's books but still haven't read Gravity's Rainbow. However I have considered picking it up a couple of times. I've just never been in the mood for it.

It does feel like homework.

Your father is Thomas Pynchon.
>>
>>9718523
he knows...
>>
i wonder if your dad is ashamed of you

he probably is
>>
Ask him if he ever did the Kenosha Kid.
>>
>>9718523
he's memeing on yo ass

there's a part at the end of the Gravity's Rainbow where Pynchon tells his reader to deny ever having read the book

it's a joke we Pynch fans who have actually read the Gravity's Rainbow sometimes share in the presence of nonreaders and low IQs
