In today’s cold open, we discuss the nonsense that is Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It’s about rockets and man boners. That’s probably all you need to know.

After that, we settle in and talk about famous literary novels that started off as pulp. Or so we’re told! There’s a lot of goofiness packed into this one.
