Reviews

"The end result of his endeavor is less an illustrated novel than a series of eerie, high art interpretations." Marcela Valdes, "Washington Post"
"The drawings are surprisingly detailed, colorful and contemplative, adding new layers to the text and potentially earning Pynchon some new fans." -Whitney Matheson, "USA Today""["Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas Pynchon's Novel Gravity's Rainbow"] can be enjoyed on its own or read simultaneously with the 1973 novel, putting smith's art next to those discursive, intricate, elusive, overwritten sentences." -Jeff Baker, "The Oregonian""
