NY, Viking, (1973). Pynchon's landmark third novel, winner of the National Book Award as well as the William Dean Howells Medal for the best work of fiction by an American over a five-year span. Gravity's Rainbow became the benchmark for postmodern American fiction upon publication and secured its mysterious and reclusive author's place in the postwar American literary pantheon. A fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket with two tiny spots of rubbing to the rear spine fold. Small hardcover first printing of 4000 copies; the balance of the first edition was issued in softcover.   [#023299] $2,500
